High Gear

James murray is mark sherrod, expert racing champion. Joan marsh is local reporter anne merritt, trying to get an interview with our racing hero. She finally does, and this upsets her regular date. When sherrod cracks up, he loses his nerve, and gets behind in his bills. It's 1933, the height of the depression, so no-one has money! Now he's driving a cab, but doesn't want anyone to know. The plot gets silly and convoluted with roughs doing a repo on the neighbor's furniture. And another neighbor's kid going to military school. Co-stars ed lambert as ed evans. Jackie searle as jimmie. The film quality on the copy i viewed is pretty bad, with numerous jumps and bad edits. Some interesting film locations... sadly, no locations are listed in imdb. Directed by leigh jason.
