The Film of the Week: Two Lane Blacktop

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first in a season of films of the 70s. Starring
James Taylor , Warren Oates
Four nameless people - the Driver, G.T.O., the Girl and the Mechanic in a race against time and each other. The ultimate bet is made - a cross-country duel from the far west to Washington DC. The prize, the loser's treasured car. Hellman's movie springs from the world of easy riders where racers travel the American countryside between midnight and dawn - with love and death as companions.
Directed by MONTE HELLMAN. Films: p 11 (First showing on British television)
