Sunday, Jan. 3 - Hi-Jack Highway

Hi-Jack Highway (1955) "Gas-oil" (original title)

A story about truck drivers in Central France, ostensibly in the region of Clermont Ferrand (Auvergne) and in particular where their lives meet up with those of a group of gangsters who (wrongly) believe that one of the drivers, played by Jean Gabin, has stolen booty from a dead man that he ran over. The harassement becomes more intense throughout the film until the end where finally Gabin gets all his truck-driver pals to close in on and "corner" the gangsters' in their car.
