Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The finale of the film takes place at the Indianapolis 500. The actual 1950 running of the 500 was used for these scenes. The actual driver of the 17 car for the 1950 Indy 500 was the real Joie Chitwood, featured earlier in the film as the owner of the Thrill Show Brannan was working in. See the Goofs section for continuity issues created by using actual race footage. more
Goofs:
Continuity: Because footage shot during the actual 1950 Indy 500 was used, Mauri Rose can be seen exiting the pits driving past the pit for the real car #17, Joie Chitwood (Mauri Rose and Joie Chitwood's pits were next to each other during the 1950 500 race). more
Quotes:
Mike Brannan: Give me six feet and I get through anywhere. more

Hello, I really like Clark Gable and Barbara Stanwyck, but this movie must have been accepted by them as a pay cheque while they waited for something better. Both had very superior films before and after in their careers. It's about the only movie of either one I have ever turned off. The change from hard nose reporter, to love struck person in one scene (with no previous character development), was the just too much and the turning point in the movie. If a slap and one kiss could have that much affect on a human, then there's no hope for any intelligent mind on this earth. However, I have to be honest, the approach can be realistic and emotionally true depending on your value system. The causation of love is difficult to determine. Overall, maybe the plots, scripts, acting and perceptions were better at an earlier time. I think so.

Bye, Bill
