For those of us who love 60's American stock car action the film Redline 7000 is being shown on Talking Pictures, channel 81 on Freeview tonight at 10:50pm

Red Line 7000
The story of three racing drivers and three women, who constantly have to worry for the lives of their boyfriends. Jim Loomis and Mike Marsh drive for Pat Cassarian. Jim expects his fiancée Holly, but before she arrives, he dies in a race. Since she doesn't have the money to travel back, she stays. The young and very ambitious talent Ned Arp joins the team, and immediately starts wooing Pat's sister Julie. Third on the team is womanizer Dan McCall, who brings with him his current girlfriend Gabrielle from Paris. So the basic theme of this movie is, "Whom with whom?"

Fictional Films about Motor Racing rarely if ever work.
You know the outcome of the race is down to the scriptwriter (the opposite of racing).
You have no reason to support one driver over another because theyre (usually) just actors, Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder for example.
Then the writer feels the need to try to add a storyline which is usually extremely cringeworthy.
All youre left with is the cars... in the case of this film, in Technicolor.
