About Five crazies on the track
A group of friends, artists and mechanics invent a unique, high-powered car carburetor that will allow them to win an important race. The device is stolen, and the prime suspect is the girlfriend of one of them. In their quest to recover it, they become involved in a madcap race of intrigue, confusion, and entanglements, in which the protagonists display all their histrionics and comedy.
Directed by Augusto César Vatteone, Five crazies on the track leans on a strong ensemble — Rafael Carret, Jorge Luz, Zelmar Gueñol — 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 comedy titles of 1950.
