Swagman a must for speedway buffs! 2 Sep 2003

By Allen Trump

Format:VHS Tape

This film is a must for speedway buffs who enjoy a touch of nostalgia. Once a Jolly Swagman combines the austerity of the forties with genuine speedway history. Starring the young and up-coming Dirk Bogarde it is the story of a factory worker who becomes a speedway star and then walks away from it all for the love of a good woman!! The plot may be thin and moralistic - success goes to the head of a young man who tastes the high life before deciding he prefers his wife to speedway fame, but the post-war shots of the old New Cross stadium, where it was filmed, are worth the cost of the tape alone. New Cross star Ron Johnson doubles up for the action shots along with Ron Howes. The film quality is excellent and I recommend it as a superb buy.
