ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:


What does the 1951 sci-fi/horror movie The Thing From Another World
have in common with the 1965 stock car racing drama Red Line 7000?
The answer is director Howard Hawks.


Christian Nyby is credited as director of The Thing, but it was produced by Hawks'
Winchester Pictures Corporation, and many people believe that Hawks did most
of the directing or at least was the guiding force behind the great horror flick.





Late in his career Hawks directed Red Line 7000.










The exciting auto racing
saga starred a young
James Caan.

The film also featured one of my favorite actresses,
sultry enchantress Laura Devon, seen above and below.





They don't make 'em like this anymore...

LAURA DEVON (1931–2007)
