An elderly counterfeiter perplexes the US Secret Service.
Absolutely charming. Incredible attention to details with locations and particularly set dressing. Burt Lancaster and Dorothy McGuire have good chemistry but Edmund Gwenn gives a performance that bring a lump to the throat. I was totally glued to this. 9/10
A man succeeds in killing his would-be-murderer; His wife schemes to bury the body as her real husband so that she can marry again.
B movie melodrama, all the better for being so short. Nicely hammed up. 6/10
An American officer in Munich tries to rescue a German scientist from the Nazis
Forget the plot, just a load of shooting, action and explosions. German's all speak in German with no subtitles, although authentic, you obviously don't have a clue what they are saying which is odd. Watchable movie. 6/10
The Young Son of a leading atomic scientist is kidnapped but his father and the FBI rescue him.
Decent thriller, backed up by tense music and good action. I nice ending too on a cliff face, a very easy watch. 6/10
A man murders his wife and is given away by his observant young stepdaughter.
A decent thriller where you know what has happened right from the opening reel. Van Eyck doesn't speak for the first 20 minutes and the movie is better for that as his acting really let this thriller down. Interesting idea, neatly tidied up, although I personally would have altered the very end. 8/10
A canal barge Casanova is trapped into marriage.
Summer vibes with a stellar British comedy cast. Unfortunately, as watchable as this was, they just didn't gel. I never understood the appeal of Corbett with his silly voice. I very much enjoyed seeing Ronnie Barker, Eric Sykes and Derek Nimmo. Glad I watched this, brought back many memories. 6/10
A middle-aged busker falls in love with a brilliant girl dancer who becomes a start.
What a cast, I found Laughton to be too much, Rex Harrison oozed class and Vivien Leigh was a pretty delight. London as you will never see it again. 6/10
