In 1820s Seville, a dragoon corporal is enslaved by a gy[sy, kills her husband and becomes an outlaw.
A spirited performance by Rita Hayworth although she sound in the least bit Spanish. Glenn Ford gives an excellent example of character development from the niece soldier to criminal besotted by a woman. Although flawed, the movie is good fun. 6/10
A London governess comes to suspect that dark deeds have taken place in the empty house next door.
Not a bad thriller, Gail Russell who died tragically young was the real star here. A love the way that classic moves depict murder and create tension. Music, light and shadows has so much more impact than the gore of today. 6/10
In Victorian London, the Ripper murders are finally attributed to a demented surgeon.
Looked great, superb costumes and some nicely thought through locations. A little cliched and why did it need an American detective helping? Great to see John Le Messurier, a British icon. A little hammed up but an interesting watch. 6/10
A housekeeper murders her employer for the sake of her two mentally disturbed sisters.
Starts well, then dips but is excellent in the last 30 minutes. I never bought the two sisters, a telescope and nut shells is not enough to convey people as mad. So many questions, a movie for a discussion group. 6/10
Peter Stirling (With his old friend the talking mule)is recalled to active duty...in the WACs!!
Donald O'Connor is a favourite of mine, excellent comic timing. Very silly but it did make me laugh. As stupid ab idea as a talking mule is, it had some great moments with the General. 6/10
They made so many of these movies. This one wasn't bad at all, fun plot, little touches of humour and Charlie's young relative brought a great energy. Racing footage was poor, otherwise a decent watch. 6/10
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
