The fast lady- film on BBC2 this friday am

[williamp]

I've never seen this film, but its a British comedy from the early 60s and I understand it features a "WO" Bentley in a lot of scenes. I've been waiting years for it to finally be shown on TV. It might be really good*, and worth watching**

• Then again, age might not have been kind

• If, like me you love looking at shots of how the roads used to be, lack of traffic, barriers, and a thumping great Bentley in shot.

Just seen its got Leslie Phillips in it. We might even get a "ding...dong" or two

[forsure]

The Bentley is 'The Fast Lady', and the film is well worth seeing.

Strong cast, and much footage of streets and traffic from fifty years ago.

I'll be watching!

Also some track action as well with F1 Coopers.

It was on a short while ago. Features a chase at the end with English screen stalwarts in cameos. Not keen on Baxter but I like JRJ, so it equals out

The Fast Lady herself was recently sold by Gregor Fiskens, still has the green/red bodywork.

Fantastic old film

Amazing, were Bentleys worth nothing back then?
Must be worth a few £££s these days.
