Greg,
Very vague memories here.
" Play Dirty ", with Michael Caine ?, but I seem to recall it being a WW2 type movie using M37's as WC's
with the radio equipped one crashing down the hill when the snatch block anchor
failed at the top of the hill. The trucks, 3 I believe, were being pulled up the hill
by cable and snatch block reversing the pulling truck which pulled the other truck
up hill. Made in 1968 or 1969 ?
I recall it being a black & white film, either that or the last time I saw it was when
all we had was a B&W TV. I was 10 / 11 back then.
