Living Camera: Eddie

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A crack driver's attempts to win America's most important race.
Tonight you can see how a racing driver prepares for a race he desperately wants to win. The driver is the American Eddie Sachs and the race is the terrifying Indianapolis 500. Sachs won many important races, but never the Indianapolis. The camera unobtrusively follows him as he prepares for the 1961 and 1962 races, and he speaks of his burning ambition to win. How this ambition was frustrated you can see in tonight's film which is co-produced by Time-Life Broadcasts and Drew Associates.
