Q: I saw a movie back in the early '80s called ''The Great Smoky Mountain Race.'' I think Larry Storch played in it. Maybe it was a made-for-TV movie. Either way, I sure would like to see it again.
A: There was a 1977 TV-movie called The Incredible Rocky Mountain Race that starred, among others, Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch, who had worked together on F Troop and a 1975-76 TV series called The Ghost Busters (no relation to the Ghostbusters movies). There was a VHS release with that title; I have seen copies for sale on http://www.amazon.com and http://www.eBay.com.
