Neptune's Daughter 1949

Starring: Esther Williams

A lady bathing suit designer has a South American romance.

Plot is not great. Although some of the slapstick was cleverly done, I didn't find this funny. Some of the musical numbers were goo including the classic "Baby, it's cold outside".  4/10

The Leather Saint 1955

 

Starring: Paul Douglas

To provide his parish hospital with medical equipment, a Catholic priest becomes a commercial prizefighter.

I've seen so many boxing movies over the years. This has a heart and the purpose of the boxing is worthy and pulls at the heart strings. A little stilted and obvious but I very worthwhile.   5/10

Something Short Of Perfect 1979

 

Starring: Susan Sarandon

A romantic comedy revolving around the on-gain, off-again relationship of a New York Couple.

David Soane was one of the most annoying characters I've seen in a long time, I actually found the whole thing really boring. Thankfully, Susan Sarandon looked a picture.   3/10

The Great Moment 1944

Starring: Joe McCrea

How anaesthetics may have been invented.

I like biopics and interesting to see Joel McCrea in this type of role. As much as I like humour, I feel this may have been better with not such a light hand. Interesting none the less on a subject you don't see too many movies on.    6/10

The Cat And The Canary 1979

Starring: Honor Blackman

Greedy relatives assemble in an old house to hear an eccentric's will.

Another remake of this classic. Relly rather boring to be honest and considering the quality of cast, not memorable in the acting department. Wilfred Hyde-White was as watchable as ever.   4/10

It's All Yours 1937

 

Starring: Madeleine Carroll

A millionaire leaves a fortune to his favourite secretary, hoping it will make his nephew take notice of her.

Quite enjoyed this at the start but is rapidly went downhill and became a little silly. The accent on the men was unnecessary and very difficult to listen to.   3/10

All The Right Noises 1969


 Starring: Tom Bell

The electrician of a touring company hs an affair with a 15-year-old actress, but finally returns to his wife.

So British, a slightly uncomfortable watch and yet Olivia Hussey is so engaging, you can't stop watching. I loved the nostalgia, the father is brilliantly portrayed and there is an ambiguity at the end which would make a great discussion. Haunting soundtrack, what an interesting movie.  8/10
