Wall of Death

This underrated British action thriller is set in a rundown fairground. There are lots of interesting characters on hand. You've got Reed, a race car driver with a chip on his shoulder, and Harvey, an iron-jawed young boxer, both vying for the hand of a dancer played by beautiful Susan Shaw. The film has a plethora of excitement, including white-knuckle motorcycle thrills and lots of in and out of the ring fisticuffs. Harvey is excellent in what is easily one of his best early roles.
