Review of Johnny Dark

Johnny Dark (1954)
5/10
Myth about a sports car race across the country
7 September 1998
Warning: Spoilers
The acting in this movie is at best minimal but what makes this film significant is the collection of extremely rare American Sports Cars used to make it. Such rarities as a Kurtis Sportscar (about a dozen made) The Granthom Stardust (several made). The beautiful black Victress (Nicknamed the Thunderbird in the movie) (one of two production cars built) as well as a Glasspar G-2 were also used in an attempt to make the cars anonymous. The star car dubbed the Idaho Special was none other than the Woodill Wildfire of which seven production models were built. If you like rare American cars you should find a copy of this film as a high percentage of the film covers the cars. You can fast forward through the shallow plot.
