Robbers' Roost 1955

 Starring: George Montgomery

An honest cowboy is employed by cattle rustlers and strives to Clear his name.

The locations and look of this movie are amazing, the plot is okay but raises questions and is a little lacking.     6/10

The Man On The Eiffel Tower 1949

 

Starring: Charles Laughton

A crazy killer defies Inspector Maigret to discover his identity.

Terrific views of Paris but not a single French accent in sight. Laughton is a fine actor but has this urge to always go slightly over the top. A shade predictable with a lack of tension, but the locations were a joy.    5/10

House Party 1990

Starring: Christopher Reid

A teenager, whose parents are away, throws a party for friends.

Not really for me but it has aged well, the rap battle superb and interesting movie of its time.    5/10
 

Out Of The Blue 1947

 

Starring: George Brent

A Greenwich Village artist thinks a girl who has passed out in his apartment is dead, and tries to hide the body.

Props department must have had a field day. Farce that happily goes around in circles for 85 minutes, harmless fun.   5/10

The Caddy 1953

 

Starring: Dean Martin

A music hall comedy act recall how they got together.

No doubting the star quality of Martin and the energy of Lewis. Some scenes work better than others, but it's exhausting to watch and in my opinion, the physical comedy is 'too much'. Sports movies just never seem believable. Movie went quickly and with refinement, could have been excellent.    6/10

Men In Her Diary 1945

Starring: Peggy Ryan

A jealous woman tries to hire an unattractive girl as her husband's secretary.

People shouting at the same time and characters having an irritating laugh do not make a comedy. Shame, the idea was quite decent and beneath the surface, there was a charm trying to get out.   4/10
 

Cancel My Reservation 1972

Starring: Bob Hope

A TV talk show host retreats to his ranch and finds himself mixed up with murder.

Mixing comedy and mystery never really works, but Bob Hope has enough about him to raise a few laughs and despite being stupid, I quite enjoyed this.   6/10
