It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The TV drama series called "Route 66" premiered on the CBS network on October 7, 1960.Focusing in on the events and consequences surrounding their journeys - This program followed two, twenty-something buddies travelling across the USA in a Chevrolet Corvette convertible.Martin Milner starred as Tod Stiles, a recent college graduate. He was joined on his travels by Buz Murdock, a friend and former employee of his father (played by George Maharis).*Note* - This show had little connection with the U.S. Highway providing its name. Most of the locations in the series were far from "The Mother Road", which passed through only eight states, while the series was filmed in 25 American states plus (one episode) Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

As a french collector, I don't know if this superb TV show was released in France, back in the sixties. I can't remember. Anyway, it was never shown in the seventies, I am positive about that.It is a famous TV series in the USA. And I understand why. I just discover it. Terrific screenplays and acting for this dramas and sometimes crime adventures stories. It describes very well all the aspects of the American way of life. The odyssey of two pals all over the USA, where they are always involved in family feuds, or social struggles. I repeat, the characters study is always outstanding.The only negative point - as far if it is actually a negative one - is that there is always a happy ending in each episode.I would have preferred a more bittersweet way of finishing each story. But besides this, it is really a must see TV show. I guess one of the best ever made.

Route 66 remains television's greatest series ever. The combination of an engaging duo, solid writing (most of the time), fresh locations,theme music, and the Corvette, provided three astounding seasons. The show generated a unique mood and atmosphere that has never been duplicated on TV since. The stories, though well-intentioned, were trumped by the visual, visceral energy of the 'Vette, every time; shaping the car consumerist dreams of millions (including me-a 10-year-old at the time). Pure gold, especially for Chevrolet. Today's DVDs are always a treat to look at, and conjure up that same magic. Best wishes, and thank you to Marty and George, Stirling, Nelson, and the crew... wherever they may be.

Marty Milner and his sidekick George Maharis get into intrigue and adventure on the highways and byways. Mostly across the good old USA, but one stop each in Canada and Mexico.Ahhh, what a great concept for a TV series in this post-war period. Two virile young dudes getting into a gorgeous Corvette and driving aimlessly until the gas money ran out. This was one of the more well written and plotted series of the day, too! Some have called the dialogue intellectual and poetic. It is one of those shows that was impossible to stop watching once you were in the first five minutes. Gorgeous scenery and the perpetual sense that adventure was always just around the turnpike.Stan Lee and Marvel Comics wouldn't admit this, but it would appear they may have unintentionally ripped off the Buzz Murdock character in creating one of their stable characters, Daredevil. According to all the trivial facts about Route 66, Buzz Murdock hails from Hell's Kitchen! Daredevil's secret identity, MATT Murdock, hails from Hell's Kitchen! It seems to me in one episode, Buzz was even blinded! Matt Murdock is blind!Nah, I don't really care either, but thought somebody out there might find it interesting.
