Herbie Rides Again (1974)
Director: Robert Stevenson
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Sequel to Disney's The Love Bug, about a Volkswagen with a mind of its own. Despite some insipid characterisation and one or two lapses, things move along at a fair pace and there's a surprising plot all about property speculation in San Francisco. Can Grandma Steinmetz save her home from the grasping magnate Alonzo Hawk? The comedy is on the whole inventive, occasionally aspiring to almost surrealist heights.Author: CPe
