Genre: Sports Released By: Warner Bros. Running Time: 85
REVIEW:
From TVGuide
This remake of THE CROWD ROARS (1932) deviates little from the original
Jimmy Cagney starrer, with Pat O'Brien in the lead role as Joe Greer, an
auto racer who is determined to keep his younger brother, Eddie (John
Payne), in school and away from the racetrack. Frustrated, Eddie takes a
seat behind the wheel of someone else's car, and when he and Joe battle
it out on the track, Joe's friend, Spud Connors (Frank McHugh, who
enacted the same role in the original), is killed. Joe then begins a
downward spiral that doesn't end until he has to take over for Eddie
during the Indianapolis 500. Gale Page plays Joe's girl friend and Ann
Sheridan is the woman who steals Eddie's heart. Though its racing scenes
are relatively well done, this Lloyd Bacon-directed film finishes a
distant second to Howard Hawks' superior original.

Family Affair - 1966 - Family Affair was one of those successful family comedies of the 1960's. Bill Davis' carefree existence as a swinging bachelor was just about perfect. A highly paid consulting engineer, he maintained an elegant apartment off Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and had his domestic needs cared for by a very English gentleman's gentleman, Mr. French. Into this life of independence came three young orphans, the 6-year old twins Buffy and Jody and 15-year-old Cissy. Their parents, Bill's brother and sister-in-law, had died in an accident, and other relatives felt that Bill could best provide for them. Despite initial misgivings, Bill and French became very attached to the children and learned to adjust their lifestyle to make room for the new members of the household. Mr. French, a stickler for neatness and order, had the toughest adjustment to make, he was with the children all the time while Bill was often out of town on assignments. All in all, they were a happy family. The Chidlren alwasy mentioned that they were from Terra Haute Indiana, the funny thing was they would prononce Terra Haute funny. They would pronounce it (Tera-Hut Indiana )
