Saw this movie on DVD over the weekend. Never saw it before. The musical score by Dave Grusin is really very good. To see the old Formula Cars from 1968-1969 was a real treat.
Storyline from DVD:
Fast cars, a fast romance and a behind-the-scenes look at the world famous Indy 500 -- Winning has it all. It stars Paul Newman as Frank Capua, a hotshot race car driver who will do anything to win. However, this obession nearly causes him to lose his wife, Elora (Joanne Woodward), and his friendship with arch-rival Luther Erding (Robert Wagner) along the way.
Released in 1969, Winning features a believable personal drama, spectacular footage of the 1968 Indy 500 with its famous 17-car pileup and a biting look at the people who make their living in the fast lane. It also marks the screen debut of Richard Thomas, who went on to become television's John-Boy of The Waltons.
