DVD Reviews of Heart Like a Wheel
DVD Review: Shirley's Startling Story
Summary: 3 Stars
This a pretty interesting based-on-a-true life-story of hot-rod racer Shirley Muldowney. Bonnie Bedalia plays the woman who was a pioneer of her sorts, becoming the first female star in thay sport. Whether her life was one big soap opera, I don't know, but the movie concentrates on that sort of thing.
Shirley had to fight a lot of obstacles to become the first female star of drag racing. However, the constant arguments with her husband (a very profane Leo Rossi) and then with crew chief-former lover Connie Kallitta (Beau Bridges) wore thin after awhile.
**spoiler alert** One very, very memorable scene in here: Muldowney on fire, stumbling down the racetrack after her car caught on fire. That was horrifying and a scene I've never forgotten, and I first saw this over 20 years ago. Other that that, it's a so-so story and better than so-so if you don't let the language bother you.
Description of Heart Like a Wheel
Bonnie Bedelia ? in the triumphant performance that earned her a Golden GlobeŽ nomination as Best Actress ? stars as Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney, the young wife and mother who defied the sport of drag racing to become the only female top fuel champion in NHRAŽ history. But before she could reach the record books, Shirley had to survive an abusive first marriage, her volatile love affair with fellow racer Connie Kalitta (Beau Bridges of THE KILLING TIME and NORMA RAE), a horrific accident, and a sexist world that tried to stand in the way of one remarkable woman who dared to put her heart on the line. Anthony Edwards of ER co-stars in this Deluxe 25th Anniversary Edition of the film Newsweek called "one of the best American movies of the year," now packed with all-new Bonus Materials featuring racing legends Shirley Muldowney, Don Garlits, Connie Kalitta and much more!Bestsellers in DVD
