Winning (1969)

Synopsis: A Formula One pilot starts a relationship with a divorced woman who has an adolescent son. He devotes more time to his car than to her.

Appraisal: Although it is well directed - the environment of a racing stadium is captured with liveliness and the race scenes are competently filmed - I couldn't connect on a more than superficial level with the characters. Important note: I watched it on a pan-and-scan version, which probably detracted a lot from the viewing experience.

Rating: 40
