The Long Haul (1957)

 Discharged from the army in Germany, American Victor Mature moves to Liverpool to work for his British wife's father's trucking company. There he finds rampant corruption amongst co-workers and clients. While geneally an honest guy, he meets Diana Dors and ends up with a mistress. Her jealous mobster ex boyfriend, even less keen on this then his wife. Complications. Better then it should be, there is one pretty great reveal, and it becomes kind of like 'Wages of Fear' towards the end. Probably Ms. Dors best performance. Really not what I was expecting, a pleasant surprise. ***
