1962 - Drama, Thriller - Japan
When two rival car companies attempt to release the same type of vehicle, a new stylish sports car, all hell breaks loose. What ensues is one great big giant mess of a feud filled with double crossing, blackmail, and even murder. Yasuzo Masumura’s highly successful masterpiece takes the viewer on one hell of a ride with this 1962 venture, BLACK TEST CAR. Imagine a Hitchcockian story written by Ian Fleming involving industrial spies and you may be somewhere in the ballpark for what you are about to witness.
