"My wife and I watched the movie last night. All I can say is WOW! We both thought it was very well
done and enjoyed it very much. I cannot imagine what kind of effort it must have taken to get all of
this done. It was so much better than most of what is out there today, we also believe it should be
on the big screen. The passion of the filmmaker shows in every frame of the movie."
- Gary Vail
"The movie is awesome! I really like the hot rod scenes and my wife liked the love story"
- Adam Caldwell
"All I can say is WOW !!! Inspirational and motivating !! The film was great and I seriously dug it. Like
many have already said ..... It is better then most of the stuff that's out at the theater now. It really
should be on the big screen for others to watch. The camera work (angles) depth of some of the shots
were just second to none and Faith Granger can show some "experienced film makers" a thing or two.
She truly made something special. "
- Jeff Neppl
"It's a great movie! A well done chick-flick with lotsa car action, kinda like Piero De Luca meets
Nicholas Sparks"
- Donald Coleman
"Watched DEUCE OF SPADES again tonight with the girlfriend, and kids even. Everybody was
into the movie start to finish. Never a dull moment. Afterwards the girlfriend couldn't talk to me
for about an hr about the movie. Finally asked her to rate it on a scale of 1-10 and got a 10."
- Jeff
"Can't wait to give my friend his copy. I liked the film even more the 2nd time I watched it.
I think Faith Granger already has a "cult classic" on her hands"
- Anonymous
" You did not just touch my heart, you went straight through it! Growing up in Sweden on
American Graffiti and dreams of the 50´s I have seen just about every movie ever made that
included any of that, and this movie of yours is the best one I have ever seen.
Thank You so very much for fighting for your dream, it was well worth it and you will inspire
many, many people. This movie will be known forever as one of the big ones, and frankly, I think
you just started an avalanche."
- Peter Place, classic car collector / trader
"This is an Oscar movie! The love story is even better then the movie "The Notebook"
- Crystal Dossett
"Bonjour Faith.
Je ne sais comment commencer, car tant d'émotions me bouleversent après la vision de ton film!
Quel bhoneur de regarder DEUCE OF SPADE, il y avait bien lontemps que je n'avais pas vu un film de
cette qualité, écrie, réalisé, produit et joué par toi; quel justesse. Je dis chapeaux bas, tour de force
incroyable. Si je n'habitais pas de l'autre coté de l'atlantique j'aurais adoré participé à la réalisation de
ce film même comme simple aide de camps.
DEUCE OF SPADE respire la sincérité et la noblesse d'âme, l'esprit du hot roding est là dans tout ce qu'il
y a de plus grand. Car c'est bien la le secret, l'esprit, l'âme. C'est à peine croyable,on pourrais presque
palper les émotions, cette alchimie presque magique qui relie quatre destins à une machine, le DEUCE
OF SPADE, prolongement de l'âme à la matière.
Ton film touche la perfection, amour, foi, bonté d'âme, noblesse, courage, passion, ténacité.
Une belle leçon de vie."
- Alexandre Chatelle - FRANCE
" Truly a work of diligence & hard work! All photography was at its best, all scenes were of great
quality, and the filmmaker was adamant on keeping the period of props very close to reality.(...)
All the actors did a superb job (...) "Good job"!
- Don Thomas, LA ROADSTERS
"All I can say is ... Faith Granger has created a timeless masterpiece.
The hot rod culture, the meticulous attention to period detail, the characters, the story, the
beautiful cinematography, the music, the whole package: I don’t think I’m going over the edge
when I say I had flashes of Bergman and Wells watching Deuce of Spades. DEUCE OF SPADES
gets even better with each viewing and it's artistry is a pleasure to experience!
Granger put Hollywood studios to shame. If there is any justice, she will have a great future in
film."
- Kevin Bishop - CANADA
"Great movie! There wasn't a dry eye in the house!"
- Ron Main, SIDEWINDERS President.

He loved it!! I thought it was great myself, I was very impressed."
- Lindy Reilley, car collector.

are all the richer for it."
- Tom Potter, car owner.
“As a highly original independent film DEUCE OF SPADES stands out proudly from the pack, but
as a very first feature from a brand new, self-taught director who’s learned literally EVERYTHING
she knows on the job, it is simply unparalleled. This film and the story behind its creation are
extraordinary, and nothing this filmmaker accomplishes in the future will surprise me; she’s that
good.”
- Brendan Davis, Producer (DEADGIRL, ROUGH HUSTLE)
"The ride was long , but after seeing the film my ride meant nothing. I am very grateful that
Faith Granger came up with such a fantastic film. Timothy Luke and the others did a very
awesome job. I was not aware that he was the main guy in the film when he shook my hand at
the Premiere. DEUCE OF SPADES is a great, wonderful movie that has delivered color in this
black and white world. "
- Sir Spencer Simon, car owner
"Outstanding film!! I lived much of that era and Granger nailed it !!! After it ended I just had to
sit a while. It was **that** good."
- Frank Melbourne, FL
"I have never seen a TRULY independent movie that is set on a time period done so well, let
alone by a first time filmmaker. Faith Granger has really proven herself to be very talented and I
can't wait to see what she tackles next. Although this is not a big budget film, the story is solid
and the ability to extract emotion from the audience is as powerful as many of today's Hollywood
movies. This is a gem for sure and if nothing else, the story of how it was made will inspire
artists throughout the world to pursue their dreams and create."
- Luis Sinibaldi, Producer.
"I came to the premiere on Sunday with high expectations for seeing a true 50's hot rod movie.
My expectations were certainly met but I had not expected to be taken on an emotional roller
coaster; it's rare that I cry in a movie but the film got to me."
- Les Bateman
"I can't stop thinking about this film, and the more I read about the process, the more
impressed I become. Then I saw the picture of Faith and her camera... OMG.... That was P2??? I
shoot P2 for NBC and it sure the hell never looked like that!! WOW. I'm stunned."
- Lori Bentley Law, photographer.
"That was such an incredible experience yesterday at the premiere... The movie was fabulous,
the event, spectacular and the cast was so nice and all were so reachable/touchable to the
FANS!! "
- Sue and Steve Smashey
"I loved it!!! What a sexy film and I loved the cars, all of them! The film choked me up a bit:
That never happens to me. The ending was very powerful and profound. It still moves me
thinking about it!"
- David Gallentine
"I can't stop thinking about this film, and the more I read about the process, the more
impressed I become. Then I saw the picture of Faith and her camera... OMG.... That was P2??? I

- Lori Bentley Law, photographer.
"Faith Granger's Deuce of Spades is an incredible accomplishment of dedication, grit and talent.
The cars, the clothes, the dancing and the environment she has created are so authentic that
you are transported to another time. But Deuce of Spades is not just for hot rodders! It is a
celebration of the cars and hotrodders of that era yes, but it is much more than that. It is a love
story that grabs your heart while the beautifully filmed scenes mesmerize your eyes. Newcomer
Timothy Luke, is an exciting star...ala James Dean. Very impressive first film. A must see!"
- C. Campbell
"I must say I was lucky enough to be at the Test Screening of DEUCE OF SPADES. I was
engrossed right from the beginning of the movie and up till the very end. It touched my heart
and brought back my youth once again. The sound designs were mysterious and enchanting. The
storyline was so real, I could relate my own life to it. The dialogues and actors were right on as if
it were the fifties all over again. I have many adjectives to describe DEUCE OF SPADES but for
now I'll just say it was AWESOME!....I can't wait to see it again."
- Sam Stray
"Loved the film ... Loved all of it... The characters... I feel that is where the movie gets it life...

victory. You earned it..."

You should be proud."
- Terry Starling
"DEUCE OF SPADES really really rocked the audience in a huge way. Never have I witnessed

The film was a huge success. It comes straight from the heart and the integrity of the filmmaker
is very obvious. An amazing heartfelt major contribution to all of us who lived the era..."

Once again "GREAT JOB" "

"My wife and I were blown away by the quality and the story of this movie. We have not seen
a better movie come from the big studios and we hope the filmmaker gets the recognition they
so richly deserve."
- Steve and Carol Rutherford
"You nailed it girl. I'm an old gear head, drag racer, hot rodder. Just growing old, not up. This
is the first time i've watched a love story from start to finish. Thanks for bringing me down
memory lane. Only the best is coming your way."
- Bobby T.
"Two thumbs way up on the film!"
- Jeffery Haas, filmmaker.
"Just finished watching the movie. WOW! Great hot rods, perfect casting, locations and real hot
rodders at the lakes. Period perfect and tells a story which really could have happened. Very well
written and photographed. A great hot rod movie and love story. (Yes I shed a few tears)."
- Dave Moren
"This movie is beautiful!! I received my copy today and immediately put in in to watch. All I can

Thank you for giving the world this movie."

great career for her - in writing, directing, filming, acting, and music. Looking forward to her
next piece."
- Dan Knopp
"This is really hard for me to write, I'm such a jumble of emotions right now after watching DOS, I'll
just say that I LOVED EVERYTHING about it !!! In St. Paul, Minnesota where I live I was in a Car Club
called "The Jokers Wild" I just wanted to say how this movie brought back so many of my own car
club memories....I never had a second chance. I can see why Faith Granger turned down major studio
backing, she did it her way and did it right, they would have wrecked it."
- Paul Busta
"This movie is beautiful!! I received my copy today and immediately put in in to watch. All I can

"I received my copies of Deuce of Spades this evening (literally delivered by the postman at 8:30 PM),
as well as my signed poster. I couldn’t wait to watch the movie. It’s now about 1:20 AM, I watched
the movie, the extra features, and director’s commentary all in one sitting!
The movie was awesome and amazing. It touched every emotion… You cannot watch this movie
without laughing and crying. Faith Granger's ability to blend a timeless love story with a hot rod
theme was really thrilling to watch. Her care in making sure everything was historically accurate was
readily apparent and is a testimony to her dedication to the project. She is truly a gifted artist."
- Mike Drennan
"Deuce Of Spades is one of those films which can be enjoyed repeatedly, due in great part to the
filming style, the scenery, and the music. I can just coast with it, letting it carry me along for a
ride. There were no hot rods around where I grew up so watching this film is "the next best
thing to being there" as Ma Bell used to say."
- Richard Hobbard, CA
"The movie is FANTASTIC! The 2 hours went by like 5 minutes. This is going to be a huge success."
- John Holden

- Butch Chaffer

"A stunning movie. I particularly enjoyed listening to the rumble of hot rods around my living room as
they reverberated through my home theatre. I am more than impressed by the director's talent and
skills. She took a simple idea and produced something that not only hot rodders will love but should,
given the right exposure, appeal to the masses and hopefully bring a whole new awareness of the hot
rod scene."
- Steve Pyne
"Awesome movie... Brought me to tears"

"Standing ovation! It was wonderful to watch a "car movie" that had a meaningful story line,
superb period details instead of dumb mistakes and, dare I say it, could even be considered a
"chick flick"! "

Writing, music, filming, acting, directing, editing... and she did very well at every one of them.
Very well done. Faith Granger is an inspiration. "
