作为“摩托公路片”始祖、第一部反映美国非法机车团伙的电影，片中唯一能与马龙·白兰度的魅力分庭抗礼的，不是美艳女郎，而是“当代最传奇的机械发明”--摩托机车。在这部电影中，后世观众能逐一检阅当时在美国能见到的几乎所有的机车：诺顿(Norton)、BSA、凯旋(Triumph)、哈雷(Harley Davidson)、雷鸟(Thunderbird)……俨然当时机车的一场全家福。白兰度作为万众瞩目的焦点所在，他的坐骑自然也是机车中的上上之选：是凯旋6T、雷鸟650，其中凯旋6T用了3部。白兰度为何没选用声名显赫的哈雷机车？其中另有隐情。《飞车党》是以真人真事为蓝本，当时一支着名的美军航空兵大队被解散后，失业的飞行员跨上军用哈雷摩托，进城造反：“我们曾经是英雄，但如今谁也不需要我们了。”《时代》周刊登出一幅大照片：一名酩酊大醉的青年骑在哈雷摩托上，周围是大堆空酒瓶。嗅觉敏锐的好莱坞因此筹拍《飞车党》，但哈雷车厂认为影片题材不良，为避免影响销售量拒绝借出机车。他们万没料到电影上映后横扫全球，白白错失了千载难逢的宣传良机。最终马龙·白兰度驾乘的是英国凯旋机车，仍可称作好马配好鞍。凯旋机车“散发出一种难以捉摸的欧洲神秘气质”，与白兰度的冷峻气质相得益彰。机车纯金属的坚硬质地、大排量大油门所带来的轰响，都让人血脉喷张。白兰度在机车上虎踞龙盘，或者只是慵懒地倚在车旁，都会散发出人车合一浑然一体的不羁气息。而凯旋机车的优异性能，极高的操控性，也令白兰度脚踩风火轮一样如虎添翼。尤其当驾驶它转弯或回旋时，由于重心设计精良，可以放心大胆将车身打斜，甚至低到膝盖触地的程度，仍不至于翻覆。因此电影里驾驭“钢铁猛兽”的白兰度身手矫健，酷劲十足，一代巨星的架势借此显山露水，引发群起效仿。

Recently deceased mystery writer Alexander Arlington appears before the recording angel in heaven. All goes well until he learns that his death was a murder, rather than a heart attack, as he had imagined. He receives permission from the angel to live his last day over again, so that he can find out who killed him. Back in his home, he relives a bitter fight with his assistant, and is certain that the assistant is the murderer. But when his nephew makes some threatening statements, and then he catches a glimpse of his wife warmly kissing a male friend, he starts to realize that almost everyone he knows has a motive for killing him.

1957 American drama film directed by Hall Bartlett
