The Man who shot Liberty valance 1962

Starring: James Stewart

A tenderfoot becomes a hero for shooting a bad man, but the shot was really fired by his friend and protector.

The second week running I've landed a James Stewart movie. Absolutely compelling from beginning to end. In my view, Stewart is possibly the greatest actor ever to have graced our screens and you find yourself routing for him throughout. This is one of Wayne's stronger performances and Lee Marvin is suitably rotten to the core. Brilliant sets and location, nearly every scene is a delight.     10/10

Made for each other 1938

STARRING: James Stewart

Problems of a lawyer and his new wife culminate in the near-death of their infant son.

Gentle comedy that turns into light drama for its final third. A young married couple cope with inlaws, a difficult boss, poverty and then illness. A slightly dull plot is saved by the brilliant James Stewart with Carole Lombard, an admirable companion for him.     5/10

Charlie Chan - Dangerous money 1946

I'm not sure how this series kept going for so long. Some of the early ones had charm. This was badly acted with an uninteresting lead and a hopeless lead performance.   3/10

Inspector Hornleigh goes to iit 1940

Starring: Gordon Harker

Hornleigh and Binham track down a fifth columnist.

2 zany Scotland yard detectives catch the bad guy by luck and the odd nice move. Reasonably amusing with Harker & Alistair Sim both superb.    6/10
