NO LIMIT- George Formby – Duke DVD

Description

NO LIMIT- George Formby
A chimney sweep builds his own motor-bike and enters the T.T. races as George Shuttleworth, speed demon, having 'borrowed' some of his grandad's money to do so. 
Made in location in the Isle of Man, for £30.000, the climax of the film comes when the young amateur is racing towards the winning line – only to run out of petrol! He pushes his bike the last 500 yards, with an unsporting rival speeding past just seconds after he staggers across the finishing line. This scene was shot fifteen times on a hot June day; on the final occasion the star genuinely collapsed at the line, and a doctor was called. This is the 'take' that can now be seen in the film. 

George Formby at his best! This film has it all, a young unknown rider with a substandard motor bike journeys to the Isle of Man, gets ducked in the Irish Sea, loses his wallet and befriends the lovely Florence Desmond. Together they share many experiences culminating in the dramatic race itself, by this time George is mounted on a Rainbow motor-cycle. George of course triumphs in the end, not only winning the race but also winning an agency from Rainbow, and winning the heart of Florence Desmond as well.
