One accused murderer on the run, one captured woman, one nifty independent crime flick. The twist here is that our desperate man (John Ireland) hides out in a racing competition to Mexico after he steals a beautiful white Jaguar owned by a pretty blonde (Dorothy Malone). The car looks to be worth about the half the budget of the film, which is full of rear-projection backgrounds and less-than-polished scenes that come off like one-take jobs. Directors Edward Sampson and John Ireland (one of only two films that actor Ireland directed) keep it simple. They just point the camera at the action and shoot and that’s it. No fancy moves, not many close-ups, nothing clever, just raw meat. In other words, it’s real pulp, cheap, dirty and quick. It’s a minor film, but what makes it historically significant is that it’s an early writing credit for Roger Corman as well as the first movie put out by the American Releasing Corporation, which eventually became drive-in legends American-International Pictures.
