*Spoiler/plot- Hot Rod Girl 1956. A small community and it's police work together to establish a drag strip to eliminate and reduce major teen- age hot rod car accidents. An outside malicious driver comes into town to cause trouble for all.
*Special Stars- Lori Nelsen, Chuck Connors, Frank Gorshin.
*Theme- Concerned and responsible townspeople want to have good & safe cars.
*Trivia/location/goofs- B & W, The San Fernando Drag strip (now gone, is a swap meet area) is the main location. Watch for the multi talented 'impressionist' and comedian, Frank Gorshin doing an early first good screen role as 'FlatTop'. He uses some of his movie star impressions with good effect as FlatTop. The National Hot Rod Asssociation worked on this film.
*Emotion- An extremely charming, true and watchable film that is well casted and acted. Knowing the San Fernando city community, I found this film very fun to watch and informative about the many worthy people and organizations trying to stop teen-age car wreck deaths. The dramatic scenes were believable and brought a good lesson to younger viewers and drivers alike.
