MG Lovers,
My daughter-in-law, a fellow Film Noir fan, gave me a movie from the early 50's called 'Kiss Me Deadly'. The only reason I bring it up, even though it is a VERY B movie and is not considered 'Film Noir', it is resplendent with classic LBCs..
The character, Mike Hammer, played by a noted B actor whose name eludes me, enters the plot driving a Jag XK 120 that is subsequently wrecked by the bad guys with him and the heroin in it. He then borrows an MG-TD from a mechanic friend and proceeds to drive it around town... It is eventually replaced with a drop dead gorgeous black 1954 Corvette, the last model year with a 6...
Not worth watching for the acting nor the plot, but great to watch for the early LBCs and pre 60's American iron...
Just thought I would mention it...
