4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun early 1960's racing car flick,

This review is from: Thunder In Carolina (DVD)
The previous reviewer gave a pretty exhaustive plot synopsis, so I will abstain from adding any more. The DVD itself is pretty good quality. This was a Howco International production, so it probably isn't possible to find a print that "looks like it was filmed yesterday." However, VCI has unearthed a print that has pretty good color values. If you've only seen Connie Hines on TV in MR. ED (which was a black and white TV series), prepare to be dazzled by her stunning blue eyes. The DVD transfer restores as much color as possible. The film is offered in both full-frame and widescreen editions, but there honestly isn't much difference between the two, visually speaking. The film may have been shot in 1:33-1, for all I know. Still, it's nice to have a choice, because some folks prefer widescreen while others prefer full-frame.
The movie is kind of corny, but has a wonderful early 1960's vibe. Although I think it is listed as being from 1963 somewhere on this site, I actually saw it in a hardtop theater around 1960, so it is older than that. Connie Hines demonstrates here that she was a good dramatic actress. Rory Calhoun made this picture and then went to Italy to star in two sword-and-sandal films (THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES in 1961 and MARCO POLO in 1962).

this film is a great work of motor sports history. the color and the picture quality are great considering the age of the master. If you are
a baby boomer and a motor sports fan you will really enjoy this film.

This film is about stock car racing in the 60's in the south. it is the sports story of an old driver helping a young one, they become rivals, then friends and you learn that it is bad luck to eat peanuts in the pits. If you love this era of racing, the film will fill that bill. It is just a good ol story about good ol boys and their noisy toys
