    Mostly cute kiddie adventure
    A car with a mind of its own is swapped between owners.

    A sort of Herbie before Herbie came along, albeit one represented by simple line drawings of the changing expressions of the car's 'face' on the radiator grille. It's quite sweet stuff, very much a product of its gentle time, with an undercurrent of deceitful business dealings, as exemplified by the crooked mechanic. Lots of pleasant rural photography helps.

    Director Don Sharp went on to do lots of great Hammer horrors, star William Russell went on to try and cover up William Hartnell getting his lines mixed up on Doctor Who.
