The listing, The Fast and the Furious (1955) has ended.
Befor there was a Vin Diesel. There was Roger Corman's original (The Fast and the Furious).
This is a good movie for anyone who likes old cars and fast girls. The police drove Nashes, Dorothy Malone looked great, and John Ireland does a good job being the quiet, likable kidnapper type, while driving a 1954 Jaguar XK120 roadster. We get glimpses of some more Jaguars, MG's, Triumphs, Austin-Healeys, Nash-Healeys, Porsches, Allards, Jowetts, Aston-Martins, Oscas and Ferraris, and some pre-WW1 speedsters in a vintage race.
Storyline: A man wrongly imprisoned for murder breaks out of jail. He wants to clear his name, but with the police pursuing him, he's forced to take a beautiful young woman driving a fast sports car hostage, and slip into a cross-border sports car race to try to make it to Mexico before the police get him.
