Except the lead character's name: DARK, nothing is dark here, nothing at all. It is a car race movie, as were DEVIL'S HAIRPIN, THE RACERS, RED LINE 7000, GRAND PRIX, and so on.... Nothing special, this is definitely not the best of Tony Curtis nor George Sherman the director's films. It is an agreeable time waster. The nearly usual Piper Laurie Tony Curtis couple on screen for a film that you can easily avoid in your moviegoer life, except if you crave for smooth fifties movies, or if you are a car races films die hard fan. I am not. Everything is predictable here, but it's colorful, good settings.
