Gary North on the movie Seabiscuit: “His owner, Charles Howard, started out as a bicycle repairman-turned salesman whose product was outmoded. A series of half a dozen scenes, spanning at most two days, are brilliantly crafted to tell the story of his transition from a failed bicycle salesman to a rich car dealer. This really is the story of the great age of entrepreneurship: a man with an untried technical skill who sees a better way to do the job, and who gets rich as a result. I have never seen this truth more effectively portrayed on-screen. Its brevity and its subtlety are nothing short of artistry.”
