Independent, beautiful reporter Regina Forbes tries to interview him but is put off by his gruff chauvinism, and when Brannon's daredevil tactics cause the death of a fellow driver, he finds himself a pariah in the sport thanks to her articles. When she finds him earning money as a barnstorming daredevil driver hoping for a comeback, they begin to become mutually attracted.

There's only room for one car.

Brannan pulls off the track

and Mauri goes on through.

There goes Mauri Rose in 31 in the clear

and in the lead again.

Only one car could get through there

and Brannan waved Rose on...

...then took to the infield

and couldn't get back on the track.

He spun out of control there

and then he flipped.

What magnificent sportsmanship.

Caution lights are on again.

Yellow flags out all around the track.

Everybody's slowed down.

The cars holding position

while the backstretch is cleared.

The drivers who spun there

were Schmarfee and Kasso.

They're both all right. They're helping

push their cars off the track.

I'll give you the report on Brannan

as soon as I get it.

Go pick up the pieces, Reggie.

They're all yours.

- Where's the hospital?

- Right over there, lady.

You can't go in there.

Nobody's allowed inside.

Okay, you go ahead.

I couldn't hold the car, that's all.

I lost her.

You pulled over to give him room.

I didn't give him anything.

I figured I could get back.

Have it your own way.

If I'd got back, we'd have won it.

Well, a man can't win

every time he starts.

- We'll win it next year, baby.

- Or the year after.

- How does it look?

- Nothing internal. He'll be all right.

- I was lucky.

- Mike, everything's all right now.

With you and that column of yours and me

and my car, we won't be together much.

It'll be good and exciting when we are.

I think you'd better go now.

- She don't have to go till I pass out.

- That won't be long.

- What's that for?

- This'll relax you.

It'll take a bigger one than that

to relax me now.

Barré Lyndon

Barré Lyndon (pseudonym of Alfred Edgar) (12 August 1896 – 23 October 1972) was a British playwright and screenwriter. The pseudonym was presumably taken from the title character of Thackeray's novel. Born in London, he may be best remembered for three screenplays from the 1940s: The Lodger (1944), Hangover Square (1945) and The Man in Half Moon Street (1945). The latter was remade by Hammer Film Productions in 1959 as The Man Who Could Cheat Death. Lyndon began his writing career as a journalist, particularly about motor-racing, and short-story writer before becoming a playwright. His first play, The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, was made into an Edward G. Robinson film in 1939. After that success, Lyndon moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1941 to concentrate on writing for films full time. He was naturalised as a United States citizen in the United States District Court in Los Angeles as Alfred Edgar Barre Lyndon in 1952. Alfred Edgar had two sons, Roger Alvin Edgar (b. England, 1924) and Barry Davis Edgar (b. England, 1929) . more…
