Movie Reviews of Winning

Movie Review: Paul's Introduction to Racing
Summary: 4 Stars

This was generally Paul Newman's introduction to racing which was a side career for him for several decades and did not end until shortly before he died. One of the last things Newman did was take a drive around his home race track in New England just days before he passed away. Of course his co-star in the movie was his wife of many years, Joanne Woodward.

As far as a movie, it is a pretty good example of the time and not that bad a race movie in that it actually has a plot other than going from one race to another. There is some hanky panky going on off the track that makes the movie interesting to those not fully into racing.

The race scenes are not bad, although the on-track announcing is borderline funny at times...but not as bad as "Redline 7000" of about the same vintage which starred James Caan. That movie was more a kitsch drive-in movie, although fun in its own way.

For race buffs there are better movies, the best being "Grand Prix" with James Garner and in the mix "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen, with a weaker story line than both "Grand Prix" and even "Winning".

Summary of Winning

No Description Available.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG
Release Date: 28-DEC-2004
Media Type: DVD

Paul Newman plays a racecar driver, Frank Capua, who steps out of his professional and personal isolation long enough to marry a single mother, Elora (Joanne Woodward). The two have a brief but happy life together with Elora's 13-year-old son, Charley (Richard Thomas), but it comes to an end when Frank goes back on the racing circuit and Elora assuages her loneliness in the arms of her husband's chief rival, Luther (Robert Wagner). Frank checks out, and Charley travels across the country to find him and effect a reconciliation. A touching movie (with some good racing footage) by director James Goldstone, Winning is about the real pain of people who have become used to a certain way of safe, arm's-length living, and who have to learn to get beyond it to find redemption in love and faith. Good performances by Newman, Woodward, and Thomas, who makes a terrific impression in one of his earliest roles. --Tom Keogh
