★★★★ · unique and enjoyable · cashel · 2004-04-12

I believe that this is the only sponsored feature film in the Archive. There are advertising plugs for the company,s products in the film. It was filmed by warner bros. for the Perfect Circle Company maker of automotive parts including piston rings. However it is well made DRAMA with fine acting, photography and a strong story with a racing car theme. I enjoyed this film

★★★★ · Not bad! · uniQ · 2004-04-12

A sponsored film about racecar drivers who become mechanics and learn about politics and graft. Some scenes: A hand cranked ambulance siren! 'Skating on thin ice'! The classic 1930s film climax seems to be a burning building... The Pennsylviania State Board of Censors!? WTF!? -Q
