Sagemindsays...The footage from this video is from the Movie of the same name
Thunder Road (1954) Directed by Arthur Ripley
"How strange that a film which fetishises the car and is on the surface about speed and movement is, for the most part, so still. The cars used in Thunder Road were sourced from bootleggers, and Mitchum, “was fascinated by the cars. He was very proud of what the car he was driving could do, how it could outrun the police. Mitchum was really into it, like he'd become one of these whiskey runners.” (6) Other than the car chases there is very little action. It is the tension between the calm of the tableaux and the fast cutting of these car chase scenes that give the film its dynamism." - by Simon McLean
