Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

bombersflyup Speedway isn't much of a film, I doubt anything Elvis Presley did was.I recorded this unsure if I was going to watch it or just take a look at it, I had seen snippets of Elvis flicks before and they never looked watchable. I recorded it because it has Nancy Sinatra in it and I like some of her music. So I ended up watching it and I have to say Elvis's acting wasn't that bad, though Nancy was a real let down. The problem is there is just no film here, it is Elvis driving around in a car and doing singalongs. The little kid was cute, the Kenny character brought something to the table, but it wasn't anywhere near enough.

SanteeFats An entertaining, funny movie. Elvis uses his childhood friend, played very well by Bill Bixby, as his manager. Bixby is an extremely irresponsible one who gets Elvis in trouble with the IRS. Here is where Nancy Sinatra comes in as the IRS agent responsible for seeing he makes restitution for the $145K that he owes. That is a huge amount for 1968. (My parents bought a four bedroom house that year for $20.5K) At first Nancy is all business but since this an Elvis movie she softens up and they fall in love. There are a lot of girls and songs as is too be expected. I found this to be a pretty nice movie and definitely one the better Elvis ones. As most know he did make a couple of dogs!!!

bkoganbing Speedway finds Elvis Presley cast as a stock car driver and some of the big names of that sport in 1968 make an appearance in the film. He also gets to co-star with Nancy Sinatra, daughter of another singing icon of the previous generation. They make some nice music together although none of the songs from this score really became hits.Who could blame Elvis and his friend and manager Bill Bixby for thinking Nancy was just another NASCAR groupie hanging around the track as she does. But Nancy's on a mission, she works for the IRS and Bill Bixby as Elvis's manager has filed a most creative return.Gale Gordon has never seen one like it and of course Presley and Bixby get called in for an audit. To satisfy Uncle Sam, Gordon appoints Nancy as his new financial manager. But Elvis has other creditors thanks to Bixby. Bill's got that old addiction to slow horses and fast women. If I had been the King I'd have kicked Bixby's arse around the Daytona track three times for good measure. Personally I think Elvis showed great restraint in not strangling him.Racing fans will certainly love this film and in that group, I'm sure the King has a loyal following. But for me, I have to say I've never seen done in any film a song tribute to the Internal Revenue Service. While waiting to be audited, Elvis, Bixby and the rest of the people in the waiting room sing He's Your Uncle And Not Your Dad about the great privilege it is to pay taxes here in the USA. Of course once Elvis and Bixby are through with Gordon, they're singing a different tune. The number was like something out How To Succeed In BusinessSpeedway is a pleasant enough film and Elvis's still loyal legion of fans should like it.

wes-connors Elvis Presley is a race car driver who likes to spend money on strangers with sob stories - he buys, for example, a station wagon for a family with five little girls, and newlyweds receive a new furniture set from Elvis. Bill Bixby plays Elvis' promiscuous friend and roommate. He needs money to keep the supply of booze and women flowing. Due to poor money management, they get in trouble with tax collector Nancy Sinatra...Mr. Presley is a great singer, especially on "Let Yourself Go"; however, you would not know what a great entertainer he was by viewing this terrible movie. The comedy situations are not funny. Ms. Sinatra looks too under-rehearsed in both her scenes and her song. Mr. Bixby seems too manic in this film. The film concludes with a dangerous "Big Race". The only way this film could have been worse would be to have had Elvis take the five little girls in his race car near the end - instead of their father.WARNING: Keep small children and wild animals away from the "Speedway". ** Speedway (1968) Norman Taurog ~ Elvis Presley, Nancy Sinatra, Bill Bixby, Gale Gordon
