Motorcycle movies. Once a Jolly Swagman
« on: March 31, 2015, 08:37:25 AM »
Waiting out this long snowy winter has found me searching the net for interesting motorcycle movies. One I found on Amazon is "Once a Jolly Swagman," a British film that takes place in the 30's and 40's about the perils of dirt track racing. A black and white film much like the movies a would watch when I was a kid, a long time ago!

It's on Netflix too.  I watched it last year and as a Speedway fan really enjoyed the racing footage.

Thanks for the heads-up.   Wouldn't have guessed from the title what it was about!

I thought "One Week" was pretty good.

Bikes for me, Brit film for my former Brit (now legal above board documented 'Murican citizen) wife and a compelling title to boot. Gots to go on our Netflix watch list.

Thanks for the heads-up.
