Review of Indianapolis Speedway

Although this was a remake as the 3 other reviewers cite, it was well done with refreshing portrayals by Ann Sheridan, and Gail Page. Pat O'Brian? please, he's a genius. in the thirties, unlike today, the oldest sibling did take up for the family more often than not, in fact my grandfather turned down a chance to go to college (notre dame) because his father passed away and he went to work to support his mom and siblings. I think the train scene early on set the tone of what kind of guy Joe is and then when seeing his brother not in school, who could blame him for being upset. This movie is a wild ride with great old racing footage, including a (non fatal in real life) fiery crack up that was actually a driver named Friday from the mid-west. I loved the cast and I loved the movie, the two, The Crowd Roars & this one are in a virtual dead heat at the finish line.
