Yes, Sean Connery, William Hartnell, Patrick McGoohan, Herbert Lom, and David McCallum are in this movie. That is not enough. It's just like an old arcade video game, with reckless drivers under the grey skies of England. I hated the way it dragged on. The plot was telegraphed in the first few minutes and dutifully followed the plan all the way to the end.
Rated 2 instead of 1 because there was a brief piece of train footage, and a dog (although not a cute, well-trained, or personable one), and because there was a very interesting piece of folk-art in the nominal hero's boarding house bedroom, namely a large hand-painted image of Saint Simon Stock, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and the Infant Jesus. I wonder where the prop department found that!
This certainly was no Thieves' Highway. The Long Haul, Racket Busters, or They Drive By Night.
Skip it.
