“Keep straight on. Let the road look after itself.”

Last week we took a look at “Sorcerer,” and this week, BigLorryBlog turned us on to another truckin’ film, Cy Endfield’s “Hell Drivers” from 1957. What at first seems to be typical mid-1950s B-movie fare actually has plenty of good reviews, based more on the plot (ex-con takes a job at a corrupt trucking firm in post-war Britain) and the acting rather than on the appearance of Sean Connery in one of his earliest roles. The trailer above may not show much of the truckin’ aspect, but the scene below shows plenty.
