The Long Haul (1957)
Great film, high quality in all areas
This is a very good film, starting with a great , sensitive script, terrific acting from Victor Mature and Diana Dors , and beautiful wide-screen B&W photography.
Anyone who's ever doubted the two leads acting ability should see this film. Diana Dors is particularly great in a role which was a surprise to me, displaying great sensitivity beyond the script, which is already very good.
I highly recommend this movie, it is much more than just a trucker, road action flick.
The relationships of the principal characters are very well drawn,
and the outcome is not the normal cliché ending one might expect.
The Long Haul is really a great film-noir of the 50s era, as good as any of the classic 40s noir, I believe.
It is available on DVD ... see it , you won't be disappointed.
