Burning Up (film)

Burning Up is a 1930 American Pre-Code action film directed by A. Edward Sutherland and written by Grover Jones and William Slavens McNutt.

The film stars Richard Arlen as a racing driver and Mary Brian as his love interest, the daughter of a fellow driver.

[1] An early talkie, the film also features motorcycle stunts, and also stars Francis McDonald, Sam Hardy, Charles Sellon, and Tully Marshall.

The film was released on February 1, 1930, by Paramount Pictures.

[2] One review described it as "the old racing-car scenario brought up to date with sound and talk",[3] but a later assessment was that despite the fact that Allen G. Siegler had "filmed the racing scenes exactly as Wally's had been done", Arlen as the star "could not bring Wally's imagery to screen".
