Jack Clayton, the film's director, handles Pinter's script unerringly, with enormous tact and unique sensitivity to the brutal violence lurking underneath smooth bourgeois surfaces.
Clayton places the camera low, staring up at Jo as she wanders around the store, gazing at mannequins, some with faces, some without.
Clayton varies the tone with an amusing pissing-contest scene between Jake and Conway, and then wraps the film up with an ambiguous but unconventionally positive ending (which did not please the author of the novel, who had a grimmer end in mind).

 Tower Records - One More Mile - Jack Clayton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Clayton's strong, traditional baritone voice--backed up by some first-rate Nashville musicians--makes for a listening experience that you don't have to make a living behind the wheel to appreciate!
In fact, to the more casual listener, some of the songs are so subtle with their tie-in to trucking, that one might imagine the singer was referring to a pickup truck.
My personal favorite on the album is "I Can Take It From Here," in which Clayton sings the familiar theme of using the open road to put some distance between the singer and a failed relationship ("...One more mile, one less tear; I gotta find a change of atmosphere...").
