Danger On Wheels

During a test, a race car using an experimental oil fueled engine blows up, killing the driver. Lucky Taylor, a stunt driver, is initially blamed for the accident, but is later cleared. He thinks the engine design has a real chance to win races, but the racing association has banned it since the accident. He devises a scheme to have a car equipped with the engine entered into a race, without race officials-- or the engine designer's sassy daughter -- finding out about it.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Richard Arlen is a stunt driver. When Vinton Hayworth walks out, Arlen is promoted to race driver, and there's a fatality. He's found not responsible, but he's considered a rotter by Peggy Moran, whose ailing father has developed a new motor in collaboration with Andy Devine. Miss Moran doesn't like Arlen, so how are they going to prove the motor and get these two kids together?It's a super-quick Universal B, distinguished only by some cut-in race-track photography. Andy Devine performs some decent clowning, but Miss Moran's line reading is erratic and Arlen is unengaged near the end of his starring days, ready to head off to Poverty Row in this programmer that has Second Feature written all over it.

It's another Z grade action flick starring the team of Richard Arlen and Andy Devine, this time focusing on the drag racing industry, and pretty much only of interest to those who are interested in that sport. Arlen is, once again, a rather reckless driver, and one whose actions often threaten to harm others. Arlen insults race car magnate Herbert Corthell in the presence of his daughter Peggy Moran, causing a frosty beginning to what is obviously going to turn into love. Devine, of course, is the comic relief, engaged to his nagging landlady, Mary Treen. Considering that she's half his size, you'd hope he'd put her down a peg or two, but that's never the case in these movies. Getting may roar on occasion, but ultimately he's just another version of the cowardly lion. Racing scenes are action packed, but overall, the film is trite and second rate.

U.S. release: 2 February 1940. Australian release: 8 August 1940. 5,510 feet. 61 minutes.COMMENT: No account of thrills in the cinema would be complete without a tip of the hat to the team of Richard Arlen and Andy Devine, who turned out no less than 14 action-packed programmers from 1939 to 1941: Legion of Lost Flyers, Mutiny on the Blackhawk, Tropic Fury, Black Diamonds, Devil's Pipeline, Hot Steel, The Man from Montreal, Danger on Wheels, The Leather Pushers, Mutiny in the Arctic, A Dangerous Game, Lucky Devils, Men of the Timberland (which I would regard as their best), and Raiders of the Desert."Danger on Wheels" is a pretty standard entry. Even though most of the action footage is obvious stock, director and players — assisted by Woody Bredell's superlative camera-work — manage to whip up a fair degree of excitement.

crappy rear projection lucky is obnoxious"Danger on Wheels" is a cheap B-movie, and Richard Arlen made a ton of them. However, the film is different in that although it clearly stinks, it was made by one of the larger studios. While Universal, at that time, was not nearly as big or successful as studios like MGM, Warner or Twentieth Century-Fox, it was big enough that it should have been making better films than THIS. In quality and especially writing, this film looks like sometime from tiny PRC or one of the other so-called 'Poverty Row' studios! Arlen plays a stunt driver named 'Lucky', though I think a better nickname would have been 'Fat-head', as his character is extremely conceited. Not surprisingly, his attitude is very off-putting and the unfortunate girl he's set his sights on wisely isn't taken in by his brash attitude. Is this because she's intelligent. No...she's clearly an idiot as you'll see through the course of the film-- especially when Lucky and his friend (Andy Devine) try to help her and her father from losing their car company...and she behaves very strange and incredibly hostile. In addition to the film rarely making sense, the leading man being a jerk and the girl being empty- headed, the film uses crappy rear projection and a lot of clichés to bring you 61 minutes of barely passable entertainment. If you care to see it (and for the life of me I don't know why), you can copy it for free from archive.org--a website dedicated to public domain films. And, considering what I just saw, I can clearly understand why Universal didn't bother renewing their copyright on this one!
