Starring: Madge Evans
Air travellers are wrecked on a South sea island.
Not brilliant but also not bad. The air crash for its time was quite effective. The whole thing was a little single paced although valiant attempts were made at characterisation and humour. More watchable than I anticipated. 6/10
Starring: Michael Redgrave
In 1943 the Ruhr dams are destroyed by Dr Barnes Wallis' bouncing bombs.
Everyone knows the story and has seen clips. But this is historically fascinating, Michael Redgrave is utterly convincing nd the bombing sequences are brilliantly done. A nabsolute classic. 10/10
Starring: Gene Tierney
A beautiful girl is murdered....or is she? A cynical detective investigates.
A little tedious for the first 20 minues, but once it became clear that the murder victim wasn't who you thought, the whole thing improved considerably & became more interesting. Clifton Webb was superb as the objectional 'Waldo'. A neat thriller that kept you guessing until about 10 minutes from the end. 7/10
Starring: Richard Dix
The captain of a merchant ship is driven mad by isolation.
Strange goings on all lead back to the captain of a ship who's gone mad. Very dated and filmed with extremely poor lighting. The movie lacks pace, only occasionally bursting into action. The final knife fight is filmed almost in total darkness. 3/10
