Zero to Sixty is a 1978 American comedy film directed by Don Weis and starring Darren McGavin, Sylvia Miles, Joan Collins, Denise Nickerson, and Dick Martin. The film was released on June 23, 1978[1] and was later reviewed by TV Guide, which called Darren McGavin "fun to watch" in the film, but noted the premise was brought to the screen six years later in a different film, Repo Man.[2]
