The Girl On A Motorcycle
 Director
Jack Cardiff adapted the erotic novel, La Motorcyclette,
with prototype rich waif Marianne Faithfull as a young French
housewife seething with masochistic obsession for sadistic lover
Alain Delon.
Bored with her new husband, horny hog-riding adulteress
Faithfull strips down and zips on the skin-tight black leather
jumpsuit her detached philosopher lover (Delon) gave her as a
wedding present, then jumps on her Norton to ride to Germany to
get it on with Delon - who once told her "your toes are like
tombstones" (?).
Her sexy, psychedelic daydreams as she travels by motorcycle to
visit him must be seen to be believed, and served as punch line to
the mind-blowing ultimate climax of the movie.
Getting herself so hot and worked up, she doesn't notice the
car in front of her until she's grated her brains in its
windscreen.
