Starring: Van Hefflin
The tough boss of a New York corporation forces a showdown between a young executive and the older ineffectual man who he hopes will resign.
Certainly not a movie I'd heard of before watching. An unexpected gem with tremendously passionate acting and a scenario that is still relevant today. Well observed and some of the secretary's were almost as imposing as the business men. 7/10
Starring: Cary Grant
Three cheerful army veterans meet adventure on the North-West frontier.
All a little tiresome with too many frantic scenes and unnecessary shouting. Maybe Gunga Din could have been saved if the army had spent less time blowing bagpipes and singing and had actually hurried to the battle scene. Cary Grant although a brilliant actor, was mis-cast for me. A great film if you like fist fights and people falling off buildings. 3/10
Starring: Audrey Hepburn
The daughter of a private detective warns an American philanderer in Paris that an enraged husband is en route to shoot him.
Charming little love story that is unfortunately about 30 minutes too long. I wasn't sure if Audrey Hepburn was trying to do a French accent or not. She was so damn cute, I ended up not caring. The Gypsy quartet musicians were hilarious and the scene where they got drunk was a joy. Quite charming all round. 7/10
Starring: Rory Calhoun
Seafarers chance on an uncharted island, ruled by a deadly fanatic.
All a bit rubbish really. The characters were not at all believable and the action hardly set the pulse racing. Thanks goodness for the supposed God on the island. He made an amusing villain & the movie was saved somewhat by the whole island section at the end. I've seen worse but still instantly forgettable. 3/10
