Hell Drivers (1957) Excellent British thriller about men who must drive huge trucks full of gravel as rapidly as possible on dangerous winding roads. A lousy enough job to have even if it weren't under demeaning conditions with people messing with you psychologically and physically all the time. Patrick McGoohan as the heavy is amazingly creepy and volatile, David McCallum and Sean Connery in minor roles are as young as I have ever seen them. Turns out quite as satisfactorily and spectacularly as one would wish. 9/10
