[Mgs] Get classic cars racing movie

[Glenn Schnittke]

Jette and I just finished 'Drive a Crooked Road' which was on TCM 
several weeks ago. Mickey Rooney isn't acting in it anymore than he was 
in 'The Black Stallion'. (He enjoyed fast cars and fast horses.) You 
could tell he was just being himself, at least through the first half. 
That's where all the cars are. The second half turns to drama and he 
starts acting and it's still good. He works as a Britcar dealer mechanic 
who gets seduced into a heist by a hot broad. Good film. Even she's 
believable.  Another one of TCM's surprises.
