Editorial Review:
This was one of those little movies in the early 1980s that had to struggle to reach audiences because the studios weren't sure how to market it. That's a shame because it had in Bonnie Bedelia an appealingly gritty leading lady. She plays real-life drag-race driver Shirley Muldowney in a biopic about Muldowney's uphill fight to make it in what was at that point a man's sport. Beside battling sexist attitudes, Muldowney also has to cope with issues of career-vs.-family, as well as the struggle between romance and competition when she falls for another driver (Beau Bridges). Heart Like a Wheel was directed by Jonathan Kaplan, who seems to have made a career of films that have trouble making it to the marketplace. --Marshall Fine

I purchased this video for my husband and he was extremely happy with it. He has seen it numerous times but wanted to make sure it was one he added to his collection.

Shirley Muldowney is a legend in the Drag Racing world, she became a World Champion and proved all the male racers wrong in a time when women were expected to be in the kitchen. She paved the way for many talented women Drag Racers.
An absolute MUST OWN if you are a race fan.
Great interviews with her and others also included.

HEART LIKE A WHEEL IS A FANTASTIC MOVIE. I REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING IT. IN FACT I LIKED IT SO MUCH I HAVE SEEN IT 15 TIMES.
Rating: - Older NHRA fans delight
Does the names Big Daddy, Don Garlits, Connie Kalitta or Cha Cha Muldowney get your motor running? If you are a true NHRA fan and old enough to know these names then you are going to love Heart Like a Wheel from beginning to end. Even better is this video comes packaged with a genuine Hot Wheels dragster that is a replica of Shirley's car. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Safe enough for all ages to watch!
