A Trezentos Quilômetros por Hora (1971)

Lalo is a humble mechanic who works in a garage whose owner is a famous auto racer. Lalo has a crush on his boss's girl. He and another mechanic surreptitiously borrow cars belonging to the garage's clients to practice racing -- he as pilot and his colleague as his coach.

Inane sports drama where every frame is ridiculous -- excepting perhaps some racing sequences which are competently made considering the poor standards of Brazilian cinema. The love drama is particularly atrocious, and the protagonist's love object is probably the most revolting female character in all of cinema's history.

Rating: 20
