(1951) Laurence Harvey, Maxwell Reed, Susan Shaw, Hermione Baddeley. This underrated British action thriller is set in a rundown fairground. There are lots of interesting characters on hand. You’ve got Reed, a race car driver with a chip on his shoulder, and Harvey, an iron-jawed young boxer, both vying for the hand of a dancer played by beautiful Susan Shaw. The film has a plethora of excitement, including white-knuckle motorcycle thrills and lots of in and out of the ring fisticuffs. Harvey is excellent in what is easily one of his best early roles. Baddeley shines as a fortune teller with a heart of gold. A great British B-film. From 16mm.
