The Fast And Furious

The muscles of Vin diesel, the beauty of Paul Walker, the winking girls or the music and the fast cars?
Easy things, all stuff from spineless and "flashy."
"The Fast And The Furious" is only one. This one. A movie of 1954 directed by John Ireland. The only film that can boast of this title.
A monumental and legendary B movie, a true masterpiece of the genre. Filmed in nine days, also using real footage of a race, was one of the first films in which the great Roger Cor man has had a hand, figures such as producer and pop.

"The Fast And The Furious" is a road movie, crazy, fast, fun and full of errors and inconsistencies. Is a B movie isn't it?
A film that has all the stereotypes of action films, starting with the characters, through the relationship between them and finishing with incredible cars scenes.
Our protagonist is named Frank Webster, unjustly convicted of murder, he escapes from prison with a sports car, a Jaguar XK. The road to freedom, however, isn't easy and necessitate the abduction of the beautiful blonde Connie.
The two fugitives are in the road to Mexico, and the police continue to hunt them. To disperse and pass the border without attracting attention Frank and Connie sign up for a car race that takes place a few meters from Mexico.
The fatal attraction between Frank and Connie is obviously expected and replaces the initial fear and distrust of the girl.

Mistakes as we said at the beginning, and we have a big choice. The most remarkable one is the moment in which Frank is making the rounds of qualifying with the timekeeper (and organizator) from far away can see everything, even commenting time, to which Frank, who obviously feels, does not avoid to say his point view.
It 's obvious that with the modern "Fast And Furious" ithe only link is in the title and not in the history. A very similar plot we can findin "The Chase" with Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson.

About John Ireland, the protagonist as well as director of the film, we can truly said the he had a really interesting career. He was born in Vancouver and then raised in New York he has participated in numerous B movie, but also several major films as "My Darling Clementine" of John Ford, arriving at the Oscar nomination with "All the King's Men" by Robert Rossen. An Actor rather talked for his private life, he opened a restaurant in Santa Monica before died in 1992 of leukemia and before having the star on Walk of Fame in Hollywood.
Dorothy Malone, the blonde Connie was also an artist. She was a famous b-movie actress, but time by time she cut out important roles in movies as "The Big Sleep" with Bogart, the musical comedy "Artist and Models" with Dean Martin. Dorothy won an Oscar in 1956 as supporting actress for "Written on the Wind" ending his career in 1992 with an appearance in "Basic Instinct". With all due respect to Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, we prefer this rustic version.
