Dorothy Malone was 30 when she made this movie. She never got any real breaks in her acting career -- trapped mostly on the B-list. I really enjoyed her in this one. An authentic, believable performance. The script did stretch credibility a bit in a couple of places, probably because of runtime constraints. I think one of the hallmarks of a good actor/actress is the ability to deliver a quality product regardless. Here, in my opinion, she definitely did.

I love this movie for all the old and some forgotten sports cars.I think I saw Jaguar XK120&140,Allard J2,Kurtiss 500,Triumph TR2,Nash Healey,AC Ace,Cunninghams,O.S.C.A.Porsche 550,MG TF, and a few I could not identify. Possibly Ole' Yellow.

Who needs Vin Diesel when you have the great and underrated John Ireland and Dorothy Malone?

Imagine the kids who watched this back in the day growing up, then in 2001 they see another movie under this name in the theater, think it's their childhood movie being replayed, only to be disappointed.

When Peter Cushing was a starving actor in Hollywood,he and John Ireland were room-mates. They lived entirely on porridge made by Ireland(best in the world ,according to Cush!).

i just watched bucket of blood ,awesome Corman movie, he is 95 years old and still going strong

another great jazz score this one played by the Chet Baker Quartette

these old movies are great and this is rather a good one.

All those vintage sports car at new or like new condition.WOW!

Mexico , back when you could escape there.

This is amazing. They have normal people doing what the sports car snoids were doing in their "elite" circles in the 50's

Marvelous movie.

True Fact: It was the very 1st film for American International Pictures also known American Releasing Corporation in 1954.

I like already first 30 seconds tells all

I like B movies

Freedom old days

Nice Jag continuity in the closing section :-)

Family

Hey everybody!. I have seen this movie several times and love it. I just wanted to point out a couple of cool things. close to the end of the movie they put up a road block on a house "in Mexico". It is the same house featured in " Kiss Me Deadly" that is an AWESOME film noir movie from 1955!!!!!!!! It introduces a brand new actress - Cloris Leachman and if you like VINTAGE sports cars, you'll wet your pants. And in the final scene of "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane" (in Malibu) Also, in F & F, they keep using that same curve only the cars keep going in different directions. I believe that curve has been used in a bunch of movies. Cheers

i like how there hair dosent blow when there driving fast

This changes from the Hollywood crap we get nowadays. This is proof we can make a movie without the mandatory superpowered actors. Real men, real women, no superheroes, no LGBTQ++(?...)propaganda, no mandatory black hero who dies at the end, no mandatory jewish genius, no Sarah, no Goldberg, no Freedman, no Finkelstein,...just a history with everyday people, cars and love.That's pretty refreshing.

At least you're not bigoted or anything....

looks interesting+ starting out good.

I really like John Ireland. When I think of John Ireland, I think Film noir.

I made my list

I'm looking for Vin Diesel. Anyone know when he appears?

Who needs Vin diesel when you got John Ireland?

Some people will go four wheeling in anything.

She never got her pineapple juice and egg salad sandwich!

And the family?

6:58 I wonder how the heck she could have known that the guy was murdered - or that he was even dead - because she didn’t go up to him and check before calling the police. For all she knew, he could’ve had a heart attack.

she was portraying a typical dumb, loud-mouthed, gossiping and back-stabbing idiot, I have dealt with many unfortunately.

Dorothy Malone?

Ahhh. The days owning a sportscar and racing it. Can't do that much these days unless your rich. In fact today owning a sportscar is rather stupid. A Kia can go as fast as you can and that is about 70 mph. The speed limit. Say thank you lawyers. They sued average people out of racing. Even dirt racing is turning into the rich buying their victories.

Well, Don, that's the price we must pay to create a perfect artificial equality for all! Many other things too have been eliminated from the simple fun schedule, and been made felonies or requiring of governmental permission/licensing to do. If they could, very many would get into a time machine if existing, to escape this monstrous Equivalency Plan we now live-in and endure, in obedient torturous silence. Get with it! "OBEY" "COMPLY" "BEHAVE" & etc. from "They Live!" . : .

All you got to do is copied the old black & white titles and plots and modernized them to fit the 21st movie industry. The Fast & Furious with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.

Hmm......This movie came out the same year James Dean Died. Then they re-made The Fast and the Furious and the good looking star of that movie died, like James Dean in a Porsche. These movies really Are Dangerous!!!

These cheesy films are always good for some good unintentional laughs.

Script was not believable no matter how good the acting was

Fine film but the ending kinda, well went into LIBERAL-LOGIC MODE.

totally lame script, a turkey if ever i have seen one.....Pinewood studios in England turned out "the Italian Job" with similar cars but then they had good stunt drivers and an excellent plot, both of which are lacking from this B minus movie.

Loved this film, thanks! The part where the giant atomic ants crawled out of the volcano was really a twist.
