Mask of Dust

Mask of Dust is a 1954 British second feature[1] motor racing drama film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Richard Conte, Mari Aldon and Peter Illing.

Monthly Film Bulletin said "Skilful use of newsreel material in the actual racing sequences raises this routine story slightly above the average.

Shots of racing at Crystal Palace, Silverstone and Le Mans are effectively put together, giving some excitement and realism to this part of the film.

The playing on the whole is adequate, but the cast sems resigned to the fact that the cars are the real stars"[3] In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "average", writing: "Servicable drama with well-integrated racing sequences.

British racing drivers such as Stirling Moss appear as themselves and double for lead Richard Conte and other players in this cliché-ridden tale.
