Wall of Noise (DVD)

<p>And they're off! The pulse-pounding, big-time, big-money world of horse racing forms the backdrop for Wall of Noise. Suzanne Pleshette (The Bob Newhart Show), Ty Hardin (Bronco) and Dorothy Provine (It's a Mad, Mad. Mad. Mad World) make up three sides of a romantic triangle about a horse trainer and the two women - one predatory, one loyal - who love him. The story is steamy, but it's the you-are-there scenes on the track, filmed at Hollywood Park that make Wall of Noise sizzle. The film captures the tang of the tack-room and stalls, the tough and chivvying lingo of the trainers, jockeys and grooms. The things that are really good in this picture are the race-track and stable scenes and especially the staging and the cutting of that big climactic race (Bosley Crowther, The New York Times). If you love the sport of kings, this is your film. And if you've never known the thrill of a day at the races, what are you waiting for? And they're off!
