Racing Fever (1964)
A what-not-to-do Primer on Film-making
Where do I begin....I first saw this film on an independent station in New York on a Saturday afternoon, obviously as filler, and I was hooked.
It looks as if somebody's Dad put up the money for this mess, but its such a
mess that I found it fascinating. You know, so bad that its good. The leading lady has a heavier mustache than the leading mans. Endless cutaways to a
person standing against a corrugated steel wall, day for night, night for day, non existent eye lines, it's got it all. And the Racing!!
I told others to watch out for this masterpiece and they enjoyed it as much as I did...except as a comedy not the drama it was intended as. I went so far as
recording it once but have since misplaced the tape. Give it a try if you ever see it playing again..its a hoot.
