Starring: George Sewell and Barry Jackson
During a 24-hour rally, thieves try to recover stolen diamonds hidden in the seat of a participating car
This family crime caper is quite good fun once it gets going, and features a ridiculous scene filmed at Slough station whereby the main car of the plot is driven through the station and along the platform in a bid to escape its pursuers! Meanwhile, there is an earlier and more straightforward scene filmed at a cinder race track adjacent to a railway line with a train of Mark 1 coaching stock passing in the background. Although it is not known where this was filmed, this Walt Disney production was shot at Iver Heath studios. As the majority of filming took place in the surrounding area, this could well have been at a point adjacent to the Great Western main line between West Drayton and Slough. The film had the working title of Nightmare Rally in the US, but was released as Diamonds on Wheels.
