The Fast Lady (1962)
Director: Ken Annakin
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Mercurial Scots TV comedian Baxter plays a cycling enthusiast determined to win the heart of roadhog Robertson Justice's daughter (Julie Christie, in her second movie, again with Baxter) by impressing her with a vintage Bentley acquired expressly for the purpose. Amiable but faddish, with Phillips in splendidly slimy form as a used car salesman.Author: TJ
