\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hayley Mills has to get to Crumbling-on-Stoke or someplace and she’s missed the last bus, so she takes a ride with Simon Ward, a farm equipment salesman from Birmingham. They bond over coffee and vehicular manslaughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n“What’s that in the road, a head?”<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n“He’ll be fine.”<\/p>\n

Along the way, Hayley runs into the flamboyantly eccentric Sterling Hayden and British motorway hijinks ensue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n“The white whale tried to steal my precious bodily fluids.”<\/p>\n

Oh, there’s also an escaped mental patient on the loose and some murders and Simon Ward has flashbacks to failed sexual encounters. It’s a gay romp through repressed sexuality, British accents, and driving on the wrong side of the road. Actually, it’s a nifty little thriller.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt’s a lighter AND a flamethrower.<\/p>\n

Join the #BMovieManiacs crew on Twitter as we trade jibes and generally dish about the film. At 11pm, Friday, September 22, hit play, comment using the #BMovieManiacs hashtag, and enjoy. It’s fun.<\/p>\n

\n“You’re not my twin!”<\/p>\n
