Something for everyone

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2006)

Most of the comments I read were by younger people than me ... if you're male, American, and 70 up you may recognize the poignant true story of Doc Hudson's forced retirement. The Hudson Hornet WAS the hottest thing on the stock car circuit in 1951-53, when they really were STOCK cars, but for all their spectacular success the company dies the next year. But Paul Newman's 70 plus and he's raced cars himself; he would know. Do they give Oscars for voice-overs? The expression that the animators can get from car-faces is amazing, too --- I fell in love with Sally too! The town must have been just what Route 66 looked like in its heyday.
