ipdb.notes: IPDB All we have of this game to present is a picture of the backbox, showing it to be a one-player woodrail game with bulb scoring up to 8 million points. The backglass shows four women on roller skates on an abstract background of circles and stars. Two women look like they are competing for dominance while skating, as we would expect to see in the sport of roller derby, but none of them are wearing helmets and their clothing are in mixed colors, not like uniforms. However, the skater in front has the word FRANCE on her shirt. This backbox was for sale on a French website. In the 1956 Hollywood movie "Trapeze", actor Tony Curtis is seen with this game with its backglass illuminated. The few movie stills that we saw (not shown here) provided us only a view of the right profile of the game where we saw the artwork of the lower cabinet was the same as that found on Williams' 1948 'Stormy'. From this, we can deduce the date of manufacture of this game as between 1948 and 1956. used
