Staring: Ian Carmichael
A failure reports to the college of one-upmanship and his life is tranformed.
Not pleasant to watch at first with smarmy characters constantly hitting on the unfortunate Carmichael. Movie improves and becomes more humorous as Carmichael puts his lessons learnt into practice. If I'd heard the expression "Hard cheese" once more, I think I will have screamed.
Nice idea, but never really takes off. 5/10

The Left handed gun 1958
Starring: Paul Newman
Billy the kid sets out to shoot four men who have killed his friend.
Newman plays Billy the kid as an illiterate, vaguely psychotic individual grieving the one man who 'gave him a chance'.
There was a good contrast between the obsessed Kid & Pat Garrett. Billy the kid was portrayed as a very sad & lonely figure.
There have been many portrayals of Billy the Kid, this has to be near the top of the list. 8/10
