Paul Newman plays a racecar driver, Frank Capua, who steps out of his professional and personal isolation long enough to marry a single mother, Elora (Joanne Woodward). The two have a brief but happy life together with Elora's 13-year-old son, Charley (Richard Thomas), but it comes to an end when Frank goes back on the racing circuit and Elora assuages her loneliness in the arms of her husband's chief rival, Luther (Robert Wagner). Frank checks out, and Charley travels across the country to find him and effect a reconciliation. A touching movie (with some good racing footage) by director James Goldstone, Winning is about the real pain of people who have become used to a certain way of safe, arm's-length living, and who have to learn to get beyond it to find redemption in love and faith. Good performances by Newman, Woodward, and Thomas, who makes a terrific impression in one of his earliest roles. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - "WINNING" MOVIE REVIEW
EXCELLENT MOVIE !! PAUL NEWMAN AND JOANNE WOODWARD ARE EXCELLENT AS IS
RICHARD "JOHN BOY" THOMAS IN HIS FIRST ROLE. GIVES INSIGHT INTO EARLY
INDY CAR RACING AND ONE OF THE GREAT CRASHES OF THE INDY 500. MUSIC IS ALSO ENJOYABLE.
Rating: - Great Guy; Good Film.
Some afternoon or evening when you want to watch racing films watch Grand Prix with Jim Garner and this film. If time allows throw in LeMans with Steve McQueen.
Rating: - Endearing, Exciting, Stands the Test of Time
The last time I saw this film was 40 years ago, in a theater, but I wanted to add it to my permanent DVD library, both because I've been on a Paul Newman kick lately, and because I'm increasingly interested in films from the late 1960s and early 1970s.
In my view, Winning is an overlooked gem with great performances from Newman and Woodward (always great to watch these two in action together), a mature plot with a credible dramatic setup, and some fantastic racing footage based at the ... Read More
Rating: - Another great racing movie
If you like early racing movies here's another good one. It ranks right up there with Le Mans and Gran Prix. It's a must see!
Rating:  - "Winning" is really Newman's picture all the way...
Newman is a successful driver who marries a small-town divorcée (Joanne Woodward), soon after they've met... As usual, he devotes too much time to his career and ignores everything else, and, as in "From the Terrace," Woodward turns in desperation to another man--here a rival driver (Robert Wagner). Newman finds them in bed, and becomes estranged from her (again, as in "From the Terrace"), but after winning the big race, he realizes his life is empty, and attempts a reconciliation (the theme of the ...
