The following interview is of a reporter talking to James Dean off the set of Giant. There are also captures taken of the interview by Faith.
Reporter: We asked Jimmy over today because he's a racing man himself.
A real one, not a crazy one. Incidentally, I think I should explain that Jimmy
just stepped over from the set of Giant and, need I add, he plays a Texan.
Speaking of racing, have you ever been in a drag race?
Jimmy: Are you kidding me?
Reporter: I just thought I'd ask. No, Jim races in the tradition you might
say, real racing cars, real tracks. How fast will your car go?
Jimmy: Oh, in honest miles an hour, clocked, it can run about 106, 107.
Reporter: You've won a few races, haven't you?
Jimmy: Oh, one or two.
Reporter: Where?
Jimmy: I showed pretty good at Palm Springs. I ran at Bakersfield.
Reporter: Jimmy, we probably have a great many young people watching our show
tonight and for their benefit, I'd like your opinion about fast driving on the highway.
Do you think it's a good idea?
Jimmy: A good point. I used to fly around quite a bit, I took a lot of unnecessary
chances on the highways. And I started racing, and now when I drive on the highways I'm
extra cautious. Cos no one knows what they're doing half the time. You don't know what
this guy's going to do or that one. On a track, there are a lot of men who spend a lot of
time developing rules and ways of safety. I find myself being very cautious on the
highway, I don't have the urge to speed on the highway. People say racing is dangerous
but I'll take my chances on the track any day than on a highway. Well, Gig, I think I'd
better take off.
Reporter: Wait a minute, Jimmy, one more question. Do you have any special advice
for the young people who drive.
Jimmy: Take it easy driving. The life you might save might be mine.
