Although he was best known for his domination of Grand Prix racing, Clark was recognized as a master of all forms of auto sport. Juan Manuel Fangio, retired Argentine ace, whose record of twenty-four Grand Prix victories Clark broke in January at South Africa, called Clark the greatest driver in the world.

A firm opponent of separatism, Trudeau believes that the only way to discourage it is to make French...
...titled I Call First. Evocative of Marty, it cuts off a slice of life about an Italian-American bank teller who falls in love with a girl he meets on the Staten Island ferry, deserts her when he discovers that she was once raped, and returns to the vulgar bachelor world of his street-corner cronies. Flawed and immature in plot and structure, First nonetheless has an exact sense of the Lower Manhattan milieu and some authentic and hard-edged dialogue-but almost no commercial possibilities. Scorsese, who put up $6,000 of his own savings to direct the movie...
