Designing woman 1957

Starring: Gregory Peck

A sports reporter marries a dress designer and finds that their common interests are few.

A comedy which misses the mark and is overlong. I find the talking heads tiresome and the plot was very slow moving. The fight scene at the end with the balletic actor taking every one out was a great scene and the movie was worth watching through for that. 3/10

Santa Fe 1951

Starring: Randolph Scott

After the civil war, the eldest of four westbound brothers tries to prevent the others from becoming outlaws.

I have a theory that all movies set on or around trains are quite entertaining. This was not the best, but still rattled along at a fair pace as Randolph Scott helped build the Santa Fe railroad with drama along the way. Some nice light hearted moments & some good action. 6/10

THX 1138 1970

Starring: Robert Duvall

In a future society, computer programmed and emotionless, an automated human begins to break the rules.

If you like white costumes on a white set, then this is the movie for you. Quite odd in a lot of ways and only got interesting for me in the last 20 minutes. A bit of background and explanation before the start could have made all the difference. 3/10

Lt Robin Crusoe USN

Starring: Dick Van Dyke

A navy pilot parachutes on to a Pacific Island and gets involved in the local women's lib movement.

Typical Disney comedy in the 'Herbie' mould. With such a great location and attractive girls, you can't help but like it and Dick Van Dyke is perfect for the role. Great for a wet weekend.      6/10
