Surprisingly down beat trucker noir with strong performances from two underrated actors, Victor Mature and Diana Dors. He's a Yank in England with a nagging wife and dull kid who falls for slinky dame Dors - and she genuinely falls for him.
This was Dors' first movie post-Hollywood - she's as strong as ever, sexy, empathetic, lonely. She suits the low-rent world.
Mature's craggy, tired eyes suit the part too. He seems like a beaten-down trucker. Their attraction is believable. The part of the wife is thankless - she's such a shrew. They could've done more work on that. Strong other actors and some decent truck action.
