Not a fictional movie, but chock full of vintage goods is "A Sunday in Hell", an account of the 1976 Paris Roubaix race. The film maker had access to the Flandria, Molteni, Sanson and Brooklyn teams, so there are tons of shots of heart breakingly beautiful Gios Torinos (Torini?), Bennotos, Merckx/DeRosas, Colnagos, etc. etc. Also good stuff on DeVlaemick, Moser, Poulidor, Thevent, Maertens, DeMayer, Kuiper, and of course Eddy. I borrowed the tape from Sarah of Old Town Cycles here in KC and she practically had to put a gun to my head to get it back. If my wife hadn't gotten so sick of my playing it over and over---.

In need of some information on Classic Cycling movies. I have decided to start a collection of Classic Cycling movies. Of course \u201cBreaking Away\u201d and \u201cAmerican Flyers\u201d are at the top of the list. \u201cPee Wee\u2019s Big Adventure\u201d is on my list just because I got to love someone that loves his bike so much, no matter that it isn\u2019t a Classic lightweight. A movie I saw in the early sixties on TV was Joe E. Brown\u2019s \u201cSix Day Bicycle Racer\u201d or something close to that title. Any help with the correct title would be of great help in locating that movie if it is on video. The movie if chock full of goof ups as many of the riders during the race would appear on different bikes from on scene to the next. Any other movie that you could think of that should be added to the list would be of great help.
Thanks in advance,
