Five crazies on the track (1950)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

A group of friends, artists and mechanics invent a unique, high-powered car carburetor that will allow them to win an important race. The device is stolen, and the prime suspect is the girlfriend of one of them. In their quest to recover it, they become involved in a madcap race of intrigue, confusion, and entanglements, in which the protagonists display all their histrionics and comedy.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
