The Cars in Your Life
196029 min 20 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Terence Macartney-Filgate
Production: Wolf KoenigRoman KroitorTom Daly
Script: Stanley Jackson
A light, humorous look at the motor car and the great North American itch for a place on the road. From the comparative peace of Honest Joe's used-car lot, this film hustles you onto our public speedways, where hot rubber erases any distance between all points. Slow-motion and pop-on-pop-off photography make this a provocative, revealing study of motormania unlimited. A 1960 black and white production. (Also released under the title 1/3 Down and 24 Months to Pay.)
