Famous Racing Movie, "Jump",
- • •• •
Now Paying Here In Brevard
By The Editor
Following the World Pre
miere in Asheville last
Thursday, “Jaap”, the blest
film on stock car racing, is
now playing at the Co-Ed
iJlCBirC Dfif 111 DrCVmB
through next Tuesday.
Governor Bob Scott attended
the World Premiere hi Ashe
ville along with hundreds and
hundreds of Western Notfii
Carolina movie goers, and gen
erally, they appeared to have
liked the show tremendously.
Today, stock ear racing, cer
tainly one of the few major
sports indigenous to America,
attracts an estimated 78% of
the 90 million fans who follow
motor racing.
Its history is a saga of
rural Southern America, haw
ing roots traceable to the
late 1920's when Southern
country boys ran whiskey be
tween rural towns, and a
Model T camouflaging a
souped-up engine was one
sure way of getting away
from the “revenooers”.
Gradually those backwoods
whiskey runners—flying break
neck in their Fords through
the moonshine woods, often
making several round trips a
day—became more sophisti
cated, and racing tracks re
placed the rutted lanes.
The “bootlegger’s turn” in
today’s stock car racing argot,
a 180 degree about face at
full speed as executed by the
star of “Jump”, Tom Ligon,
in the film’s major racing
sequence, is a nostalgic re
minder of an era when some
times the only way to elude
pursuit was to change direc
tion, instantly, at 60 mph.
Rising Star
Ligon became nationally fa
miliar in the recently released
Paramount production of “Paint
Your Wagon,” and made his
New York theatrical debut as
the suave Orson in the original
company of the prize-winning
musical “Your Own Thing.”
Tom is very much into today’s
youth scene, travels with his
own supply of organic food
which he prepares himself on
location, speaks Russian and
French, and lives in Greenwich
Village.
In “JUMP”, he is playing a
role at the opposite end of
the cultural spectrum, a
rural Appalachian youth
named Chester Jump whose
love of fast cars and search
for recognition leads him
from daredevil racing to a
personal confrontation with
reality in a demolition derby,
and he loves the role. He
sees Jump as a strong, gut
character, an archtype of a
natural folk hero, unaware
of his real strengths; a prod
uct of an entire subculture
derived from the stock car
phenomenon, and in interpret
ing the ride, feels he will be
working out his, as well as
Jump’s fantasies about ma
chines, held since youth.
Tom travelled around the
world in that youth, as an
Army “brat.” He finally ended
up at Yale where his interest
in theatre led him to member
ship in the Yale Dramatic As
sociation and in Skull and
Bones, one of the country’s
most prestigious college clubs.
Following graduation, he
acted in summer stock, his
first appearance being with
Art Carney in “Time Out for
Ginger.” Since, audiences
across the United States and
Canada have seen him in
tours of “Cactus Flower,”
“The Impossible Years,” “The
Philadelphia Story,” and
“Generation.”
