[ROVERNET - UK] Rovers in Movies

Hi all,
Of course there's "the man who haunted himself" the film that Roger Moore
really acted in (Bit of a shock that). He plays a man who is mild mannered
bank manager by day (In P5B coupe) and rebel bad boy by night (In Volvo
p1800, I think or a Sunbeam tiger) sort of a 60s twist on Jeckel and Hyde.
Worth watching if you can find it.
Cheers,
Steven Dibdin
