...incongruously wheels a shiny red convertible around like a hell driver. His partner, mooning around Sue Lyon's earthy smile, is a love-struck leftover from turn-of-the-century melodrama, yet speaks the language of the contemporary soldier. Like the cars its heroes steal and riotously wreck, the script starts strong but plots its own collision course, and eventually piles up in a harmless heap of miscellaneous parts that no longer mesh.

In the wreck lie a boy (Michael York), mangled and dead, and a beautiful girl (Jacqueline Sassard), in shock but uninjured. A university don (Dirk Bogarde) runs to the car, recognizes its occupants as his students, and gives the girl his hand. As she emerges, she steps on the dead boy's face-an act that symbolizes what is past in her life and what is to come in the film. The don takes the girl into his home, puts her to sleep...
