Review of The Long Haul

The Long Haul (1957)
5/10
The Leyland Lorry is the real star
4 November 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Previous post's comments are right on the money, poor dialogue and acting by some players, production values are high though, with thoughtful music scoring. The scene where Mature changes the front wheel of the truck under 5 foot of water in a Scottish loch has to be seen to be believed(it's ridiculous) For me the real star is the Leyland Octopus 8 wheel truck, the punishment that it takes on the poor roads is a testament to the trucks robustness,(would make a good advertisement for Leyland Trucks, only they are out of business in 2006) they don't make 'em like that these days unfortunately there are only too many poor films today though
