Crash Drive is a 1959 British racing car film directed by Max Varnel and starring Dermot Walsh. It was produced by the Danziger Brothers.[1] It was written by Brian Clemens and Eldon Howard and produced by The Danzigers.
Paul Dixon is an international racing driver severely depressed after being paralysed from the waist down in a crash. He seems to have lost everything, including his will to live. His estranged wife Ann returns to him in the wake of the accident and attempts to cure him of his despair.
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Excellent plot very indifferently treated, maudlin and disappointing."[2]
Sky Movies wrote, "this very minor, modest and mostly mediocre British melodrama – partly written by The Avengers producer Brian Clemens – has a hard job getting into gear."[3]
