A race-car driver whose career is on the skids because of his drinking falls for a rich society girl. That motivates him to clean up his act and resume his career, but it may be too late for that.
Directed by Jerome Storm, The Racing Strain leans on a strong ensemble — Wallace Reid Jr., J. Farrell MacDonald, Paul Fix — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1932.
