Speedway (1968)
6/10
Stock car driver almost outruns the IRS!
27 November 1999
Elvis Presley plays a race car driver that gives away money as quick as he wins it. His manager played by Bill Bixby loses race winnings by making bad bets on the ponies. Elvis now owes back taxes to the IRS and agent Nancy Sinatra is sent to collect or make arrangement for payment. The Charlotte 500 speed race is the answer to the problem. Win the race and win the girl. William Schallart and Carl Ballantine are also featured. Below par soundtrack does feature the gems "Let Yourself Go" and "Speedway". Even Miss Sinatra sings, regrettably. Sparks do fly on and off the screen between the racer and tax lady. Interesting, but no great shakes.
