Just watched "WINNING" on UF ! Anyone who is a Paul Newman
fan and loves racing is going to lick this flick up.
Its has several moments interspersed thru the movie of some of
Newman's best scenes in his classic movies like
"Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"
There's also a great story in it where Willy Ribbs talks about
how Newman gave him his big break into racing and helped
break the barrier of allowing African Americans into Big time
racing....Willy went on to become the first African American
to qualify for the INDY 500 in 1991.
