May 8th
The Fast Lady**  

(GB 1962)                          

A Scotsman woos a ruthless motorist's daughter by buying a vintage car from his smooth-talking housemate.
Agreeable knockabout Rank comedy without descending too much into innuendo, with a lively cast including several guests in the chase climax. A blueprint of sorts for the later, more lucrative Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines.
