Have you seen this movie!? What catches your spying-eye radar!?

‘Breaking Away’ is a 1979 coming-of-age comedy-drama written by Steve Tesich & directed by Peter Yates. The movie, which I haven’t seen but am told I should, won the 1979 Best Original Screenplay Academy Award & the 1979 Best Film Golden Globe Award. The centerpiece of the plot, the Little 500 Bicycle Race, is a real race held annually at Indiana University; the movie’s team is based on the 1962 Phi Kappa Psi champions. Scenes were filmed in & around the Bloomington IN area, summer 1978. The cast includes Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley, Paul Dooley, Barbara Barrie, Robyn Douglass, Hart Bochner, PG Soles, Amy Wright & John Ashton.
