Poor Dixie...not chick flick enough for you?
First saw the movie at the 1971 Sun Valley Parade. It was showing all week. Your parade badge was the entry ticket. Buddy Marty & I watched it at least 3 times. Then I bought a tape, then the CD. Love it from opening to end. Much of the footage is of the 1970 race, making an authentic record of the actual cars that were entered.
Yes, it cost Mcqueen his marriage and much of his fortune. The movie reviews were not kind...
