Review of Race for Life

Race for Life (1954)
5/10
No more than average.

Interesting to see how lax safety was in motor racing back then, it was so lax that it was non existent. Hurtling along a racing track with straw bale barriers and trees on both sides of the track with no barriers between the trees and the track.

The poor quality back projections made it very difficult to believe that the main characters were in any danger "out on the track". This removed any feeling of danger which greatly spoiled the film.

Not a great plot but probably acceptable back in 1954, Patricia's wide shouldered dressing gown made her look like an extra from Star Trek.

Only for fans of vintage motor racing I'm afraid.
