Stock Car (film)

Stock Car is a 1955 British second feature[1] crime drama film directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Paul Carpenter, Rona Anderson, and Susan Shaw.

[2] When her father dies during a stock car race, Katie Glebe takes over the running of his garage, helped by American driver Larry Duke.

Paul Carpenter convinces as the Yankee hero, Larry, Rona Anderson is a refreshing Katie, Susan Shaw scores in contrast as temptress Gina, and Sabrina, who, by the way, should be seen and not heard, enhances its by no means inconsiderable sex angle in a minor role.

"[4] The Radio Times noted, "The mediocrity is unrelenting, with the race sequences every bit as hackneyed as the risible melodrama, although Susan Shaw briefly brightens things up as a shameless floozy.

"[5] The Spinning Image wrote: "the lower half of a double bill from British B-movie specialists Butchers, here in their element with a thriller that never did anything particularly spectacular, but provided enough thrills and spills to keep the audience in their seats for the duration, though being well aware that a more expensive and starry movie was following on must have helped in that department.
