The Devil’s Hairpin is a 1957 film starring Cornel Wilde, who also directed and co-wrote the screenplay with James Edmiston. The film also stars Arthur Franz and Mary Astor as well as Paul Fix, Larry Pennell, Gerald Milton, Ross Bagdasarian, Morgan Jones, Jack Kosslyn and Louis Wilde.Cocky auto racer Nick Jargin (Wilde) has retired from auto racing since he nearly caused the death of his brother Johnny (Pennell) at a hairpin bend on a circuit, and now runs a trendy bar called the “King’s Room” which keeps him busy full time.One day, sportswriter Mike Houston (Milton) goads Nick into coming out of retirement and challenging new champion Tony Botari (Kosslyn), particularly after egotistically saying in an interview that Botari has no real competition now that he's out of the sport.Nick decides to returns to competition and this time around he will not only have to beat his new rival but also his own demons, with his brother Johnny, Kelly James (Wallace) along with her pretty lover Danny Rhinegold (Franz), his no-nonsense mother (Astor), and the patrons at the bar by his side. | |

Bar Brawl: Nick does this to Tony Botari when he and Botari’s party of four are at Nick’s table when Tony refuses to leave Jargin’s table at a fancy restaurant. Fortunately, Nick’s apprehended alongside Tony immediately after the former lands the first blow to the latter. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Nick’s redheaded date he takes to a dinner is never seen again. The next time Nick’s on a date in the King’s Room bar, he’s with a black haired woman. Then she disappears and is replaced with a blonde bimbo . . . who also disappears. Interestingly, each woman appears in one small scene. | |

Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: Ms. Jargin does listen to the race Nick’s in on the radio, showing emotion when a race car went through the barrier of said ‘devil’s hairpin’ and into the ravine, believing it could have been her son. It wasn’t. It was Rodriguez. | |

Sadistic Choice: Though a very mild example but Kelly gives Nick the ultimatum of either marry her or she’s leaving. He declines so Kelly goes back to former boyfriend Danny Rhinegold, who now runs Botari's racing team. She eventually gets back with him at the end. | |
