the hi-jackers (1963)

aka The Hijackers.
Terry (Antony Booth) is a self-employed lorry driver. On a job he meets Shirley (Jacqueline Ellis) at a cafe and gives her a lift. Unfortunately he's held up and his shipment of whiskey is hijacked. But how did the hijackers know that he had a valuable cargo and that he was going that route? Suspicion falls onto Terry's partner, who was conveniently ill for this trip.

A rather nice little crime flick from Butchers, which boasts some great performances by Booth and Derek Francis as the gang leader with a penchant for fine cooking.
