Adequate drama

Nothing special to think or rememeber from ths Cornel Wilde's film, not his best, not the most inspired, nothing to do with THE NAKED PREY, NO BLADE OF GRASS, BEACH RED, or even LANCELOT AND GUENIEVRE. Those latests are over the top in terms of stories. This car race topic could remind George Sherman's JOHNNY DARK, starring Tony Curtis - who looked like Cornel Wilde, from my own point of view. You have good character depiction and tension. Cornel Wilde has a good lead character, not always at his best, and that's the most surprising. It's also an interesting analysis about winning, the importance for one to be the best, at any cost.... Good story but a bit run of the mill however.
