_**Elvis as a stock car racer harassed by an IRS agent played by Nancy Sinatra**_ The story involves a winning racer who is openhanded with his money and trusting of his friend’s management of his finances (Bill Bixby), which becomes complicated when an IRS agent gets involved (Nancy Sinatra). “Speedway” (1968) marks Elvis’ 27th movie out of the 31 he made for his acting filmography. Your enjoyment of this film will probably hinge on your interest in stock car racing and Nancy Sinatra. Presley is at his most visually appealing, displaying his characteristic charm; you wouldn't guess that he was taking diet pills to control his weight or wrestling with a desire to make more substantial movies. I wasn’t particularly impressed by her looks, but I did appreciate her hairstyle, found her pleasant enough, and enjoyed her singing. Elvis and Bixby have good rapport during their playful moments together. It's an enjoyable and adequate Presley film, notable for the lively 1960s feel and the main character’s trusting nature, though “Speedway” isn’t particularly memorable within Elvis’ body of work. The movie is 1 hour, 34 minutes long and was filmed at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina; Riverside International Raceway, California; and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Culver City, California. GRADE: B-/C+
