Documentary Film: "Hands on a Hard Body" (1997, 95 minutes)

This humorous documentary captures contestants in a 1995 competition held annually in a Longview, Texas, car dealership parking lot. A brand new Nissan pickup truck is the prize won by the person who can keep a gloved hand held against the truck for the longest period of time (with a 15-minute break every six hours and a five-minute break every hour). Six contestants drop out during the first 24 hours, with only two contestants still standing by the 70th hour.—All Movie. Admission is free and all are welcome.
