Starring: Raymond Massey
War in 1940 followed by plague, rebellion, a new glass-based society, and the first rocketship to the moon.
Interesting to see H G Wells vission of the future. It's easy to scorn 70 years on. The Wandering sickness was my personal favourite. Too much slow action set to music for my liking. Wells predictions were the focus on the film that never really found a viable plot. 3/10

That Hamilton woman 1941
Starring: Vivien Leigh
The affair of Lord Nelson and Emma Hamilton
Wordy tale of the love triangle, well actually love rectangle between William Hamilton, Lady Hamilton, Lord Nelson & Lady Nelson. Great performances by actors from the very top of the pile. The story was just a little uninteresting in this version, possibly because we all knew how it would end. Interesting however to see Nelson portrayed with a weakness. 5/10
