The film is centred on a British motor racing team. It is based on a novel by Australian author Jon Cleary. Original novelCleary wrote the original novel in the 1950s. He had written a book about Australian politics, The Mayor's Nest, but his English publisher was worried it would not appeal to an international audience, and suggested a book on motor racing. Cleary and his wife had lived in Italy for a year and became familiar with the motor races there. He wrote it in Spain in twenty days at a chapter a day, and it became a best seller on its publication in 1957.[3] ProductionFilm rights were bought by MGM who hired Cleary to adapt his own novel. Although most of the movie was set in Italy, it was shot in Wales.[2] Sid James was cast as an Australian. Cast
