Madison's claim to Hollywood fame was the film "Some Came Running", filmed in Madison in 1958.
|
|
A new movie filmed in Madison, called "Madison", about the 1971 Madison Regatta boat race was released April 2005 nation-wide. It stars Jim Cavievel, Jake Lloyd and Bruce Dern.
"Madison" follows the ups and downs of the 1971 hydroplane racing season from the prospective of driver Jim McCormick and his son, Mike, whose character narrates the story.
The movie shows some great racing footage, including the final championship race where the under-dog Miss Madison U-6 defeats the favorite Miss Budweiser to win the prestigious Gold Cup.
NOTE: "Madison" will be showing at the Ohio Theatre some time in May or early June. Check back often to check for when it is showing!
