    Hot Rod Rumble (1957)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    The scene is a party somewhere in teenland: Big Arnie (Richard Hartunian) is uncouth and dresses flashy. His chick, Terri (Leigh Snowden,) tells him to clean up and he tells her to forget it. She does just that, riding home with Hank (Larry Dolgin), another member of the Red Devils hot rod club.

    On the way, a car (which looks suspiciously like Big Arnie) drives them off the road and Hank is killed.

    Did Arnie do it? If he didn’t, who did?

    Only on the day of the “big race” is the mystery resolved and the ending happy.

    Another ‘loose youth’ entry from Allied Artists, complete with actual footage of the Pomona dragstrip.
