A guy just out of prison gets a job driving a gravel truck for a company whose workers have even fewer benefits than the average Amazon warehouse employee. A gritty, kitchen-sink film noir (except that nobody in it has a kitchen), with a fine cast of soon-to-be stars and longtime character players. Made in England, where director Cy Endfield was working after being blacklisted. Keep an eye on Stanley Baker and see if you don't think he and Sean Connery look enough alike to be brothers.
