George Hamilton stars as the motorcycle daredevil whose name has become synonymous with excitement. No stunt was too impossible for Evel Knievel to attempt--the more outrageous and death-defying the better. This thrill-a-minute movie recreates some of Knievel's most famous stunts and shows the physical and personal price he paid for his incredible success. Also featuring Bert Freed, Dub Taylor, Rod Cameron, Ron Masak, Sue Lyon - Director: Marvin J. Chomsky. An action-packed biography of one of the world's most famous daredevils, portrayed by George Hamilton. Many of the wild stunts in the film were performed by Evel Knievel himself.

 Oldie but Goodie
what made me decide to purchase this movie was.....after watching the new 2004 version of Evel Knievel. I wanted my son to watch what I had watched back in-the-day. To me, the older version gave more of a feel of what it was like back then.

 A Little History...
This is a pretty good story about "The Man", Evel Knievel, who introduced the world to his brand of entertainment! And he was entertainment in the 70's! George Hamilton gives an alright performance, and the story line is a bit jumpy, but it is an interesting story, and one that should be seen to be believed!

I was an extra in this movie when I was 16 years old, living in Butte Montana......it was a lot of work and gave me an appreciation of the film industry. It has been awhile since I have seen it and am anxiously waiting to get the DVD to see it again. I can still remember George Hamilton giving Sue Lyons a ride on the motorcycle infront of the High School...
Thanks for the memories.....Sue Erickson-Hoffman.........

Mutrux's crude cult classic answer to AMERICAN GRAFITTI and ANIMAL HOUSE follows the comic exploits of the Hollywood Knights, a rowdy, prank-happy car club, and their screwball leader Newbomb Turk (Wuhl). When a group of Beverly Hills preppies decide to run the déclassé pranksters out of town by closing down their hang-out--Tubby's Drive-in--the 'Knights (featuring a young Danza and Pfeiffer) unleash a chaotic string of practical jokes in retaliation, culminating in a hell-raising Halloween free-for-all. Long enjoying cable TV-fed cult status, the film's video release was held up for years due to music rights.

Set in 1962; Produced and released in 1973.
AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K.. Based on George Lucas's own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138), AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford, who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently graduated high school students. The genial Steve (Ron Howard) prepares to leave for college the next day, and Laurie (Cindy Williams), his girlfriend, is upset by his impending departure. Laurie's brother, Curt (Richard Dreyfuss), the class intellectual, is also slated for college, but he has serious doubts about his future. Also included here are the hopeless nerd (Charles Martin Smith) and the eternally cool drag racer, John (Paul LeMat), who feels pressure to live up to his reputation. A nostalgic feeling is evoked in seeing the teenagers cruising in their hot rods, eating at Mel's Diner, and listening to Wolfman Jack spin the latest hits, with the camera jumping from character to character as they each enjoy--or fret over--their last moments of summer freedom.

| | Wide Blue Road DVD (1957) Widescreen
Evel Knievel review
$23.45
Gillo Pontecorvo's 1957 film THE WIDE BLUE ROAD is a moving neorealist drama that uses lush color photography and features a commanding performance by Yves Montand. Working in the style of Rossellini, Pontecorvo uses non-professional actors in all but the star roles, authentically capturing the look and feel of the lives of impoverished fisherman in Sicily. Squarcio (Montand) makes a better living than the other men in the village--who obey the law and fish with nets--by using dangerous homemade bombs. The men tolerate his breaking the rules because he fishes far from the village. But the new coast guard captain is determined to catch him. Though Squarcio is committed to providing a better life for his wife, Rosetta (Alida Valli), and their children, he refuses to join a new cooperative that allows the fishermen to set a fair price for their fish. Squarcio insists on standing apart. While Squarcio is portrayed as an admirable individualist, Pontecorvo's sympathies, as shown later in both THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS and BURN, clearly lie with the men trying to get a better life for everyone through cooperation--breaking the cycle of exploitation created by the every-man-for-himself ethos of Squarcio.
THE WIDE BLUE ROAD made its United States theatrical premiere in June 2001 in a restored print, prompted by the efforts of Jonathan Demme and Dustin Hoffman.
Fisherman Squarcio struggles to support his family in a tiny, sun-drenched Italian village on the blue waters of the Adriatic. Stars Alida Valli, Francisco Rabal, Peter Carsten, Terence Hill, Umberto Spadaro, Yves Montand - Director: Gillo Pontecorvo. Special features include an introduction by Jonathan Demme; Theatrical Trailer

Having originally been commissioned as a three-part series by the BBC, the story of the friendship between J.M. Barrie (played here by Ian Holm) and the Llewelyn-Davies family is collected here. The family commissioned Barrie to write PETER PAN, and so history was made, and lead to the similarly-themed movie FINDING NEVERLAND in 2004.
Ian Holm (The Lord of the Rings) stars as English playwright J.M. Barrie in this critically acclaimed BBC mini-series about the friendship that inspired the creation of Peter Pan.
