6:15 - Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel.

The original "Thunder Road" starring Robert Mitchum and Gene Barry.

Moonshine and hot rods - what could be better?

PS: One of my all-time favorite movies.

... and Robert Mitchum sings twice

Yes - yes he does. He also wrote both of them - the title song "Ballad
of Thunder Road" and "Whipporwill" with Don Raye a Songwriter Hall of
Fame member.

Interesting trivia about the cars in the movie - they were actual
moonshiner cars. The local 'Shiners sold them to the movie company to
buy newer/faster cars. :)

Good ole boys weren't too dumb on that one. :)
