Duell am Steuer (1957)

Duell am Steuer: Directed by Cy Endfield. With Stanley Baker, Herbert Lom, Peggy Cummins, Patrick McGoohan. A rookie trucker tries to expose his boss’ rackets.

“The trucking crew reads like a whou0026#39;s who of male British-based acting talent. Baker, Connery, Sid James (who was a superb straight actor), Lom, Gordon Jackson, etc, under the foremanship of Patrick McGoohan. Back home minding the shop we have David McCallum and in the office, ripping them all off is William Hartnell.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI love the road scenes be they shot at normal speed or otherwise. The language had to be toned down for censorship reasons, otherwise you would find McGoohan calling Baker something a little stronger than yellow belly.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith a cast like that you would expect to see some great performances; and you do. But since Patrick McGoohan has the best role, he stands head and shoulders above the rest as the mad Irishman who swigs Guiness at the wheel, and who can lose a fight and still have his cigarette sticking out of his mouth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI love this film.”
