I see that this is about to start on Talking Pictures TV.

Early appearance of Sean Connery, Stanley Baker and Patrick McGoohan if I remember correctly.

I suspect this film gave tipper drivers their reputation.

Film obviously sped up to give a false impression of speed IIRC. David Mc Callum also I think?

As was pretty much all chase scenes in films!.

David Mc Callum also I think?

Yes, he was in it, Herbert Lom too.

Some great stuff on talking pictures though. Got series link on to record The Outer Limits (Saturdays 13.40 if anyone interested), which are great!. Also seen some Hammer films on there recently.

Speaking of David McCallum, TCM Movies have quite a lot of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. going on at the moment!
