Trucker’s Woman (1975)

Poor from start to finish, 26 September 2019

Truck driver Mike Kelly is sure his father’s death was no accident.  He sets out to prove his crooked boss had a hand in the accident.

This cheap, poorly made movie is barely worth writing about.  Just about everything in Truckers Woman (or the more apt title, Truckin’ Man)  is bottom-of-the barrel - production values, acting, sets, sound . . . you name it and it’s probably pretty bad.  And unlike a lot of movies of this ilk, it’s not sleazy enough to even be a good exploitation film. I will, however, give Trucker’s Woman credit on two fronts.  First, when it comes to the characters Mike Kelly and Karen Fontaine, they’re relationship is somewhat oddly compelling. Second, the music fits perfectly with the film.  A low-budget trucking movie set in the South should have a whiney, twangy country music soundtrack.
