Kansas City Bomber (1972)
Director: Jerrold Freedman
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Raquel Welch is a mother-of-two neglecting her kids to get a piece of the action on the roller-derby circuit, and soon agonising over fame versus family. The derby sequences are shot with an unbelievably heavy hand - could anyone really make them this dull? The script is unspeakable. Forget it.Author:
