Overview

George Hamilton may not have been the perfect actor to play Evel Knievel in this 1972 biopic, but it could have been worse; after all, Knievel himself might have played the role. In fairness, Hamilton is quite serviceable as the famed motorcycle daredevil, whose life is traced from his early barnstorming days in Butte, Montana. Hired by rodeo entrepreneur Dub Taylor, our hero quickly gains a national reputation for his neck-risking stunts, most of these involving jumping over lines of automobiles. Though nearly killed when he attempts to clear the fountain at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace, Knievel survives to pull off even more spectacular stunts. Well cast and excitingly photographed, Evel Knievel is ideal populist entertainment.
