Torpedo run 1958

Starring: Glenn Ford

A US submarine in World war 11 destroys a Japanese aircraft carrier in Tokyo bay.

Typical submarine war drama. Ford & Borgnine were both good & a reasonable attempt was made to show the human side of their characters. I would have liked to have got to know the crew a bit more but a reasonable drama with good action sequences. 6/10

She's gotta have it 1986

Starring: Tracy Camilla Jones

Three men woo the same woman

Strange movie filmed in short scenes, the rest of the time taken up with talking heads. Somehow it was still fascinating mainly due to the superb performances by all the actors. Filmed in Black & White except for one dance scene where the colour leaps off the scree. As entrtainement, it's not up to much but as an artistic piece of work, it's spot on. 6/10
