The Fast and the Furious (1954)

 'The Fast and the Furious' was Roger Corman's 3rd film, he now has around 400 credits (in this one it's for 'story by'). Lady race car driver Dorothy Malone is taken hostage by a jail breaking John Ireland, who is trying to make his way to freedom in Mexico. For a movie with 'Fast' in its title it's fairly slow, and more flirtatious then furious, Ms. Malone gets some serious Stockholm syndrome. At one point in an effort to save Ireland Dorothy sets the cabin she's trapped in one fire, an extremely stupid idea. Apperinging in something so low rent could Dorothy have imagined that she was just two years away from an Oscar? No relation to the later franchise. **
