Princess of the Nile 1954

Starring: Debra Paget

An Egyptian princess of the middle ages leads her country against the invasion of a bedouin prince.

Egyptian Queens, middle eastern noblemen, harems and sword fights. As colourful and easy on the eye as this was, the plot came over as frankly ridiculous but a light-handed delivery kept the movie as vaguely enjoyable.   4/10

Hindle wakes 1952

Starring: Lisa Daniely

A Lancashire millgirl spends a week at Blackpool with the master's son but causes a scandal when she refuses to marry him.

Very dated and British in its values. Basically, a holiday romance ends in tragedy causing a girl to be 'found out' about spending a week with a man. We then get a moralistic and class related debate about whether she should marry him. Probably more cutting edge and relevant when it was released, this was still quite an enjoyable watch.                                                6/10

Home to danger 1951

Starring: Rona Anderson

An heiress returns after her father's death and finds herself purued by a murderer.

Small British thriller. This is how movies should be! Fast-paced, easy plot to follow and not too long. Quicksand, a man with a claw, gun fights and a slightly dumb youg man. All good fun    7/10

Born to win 1971

Starring: George Segal

A Times square junkie with delusions of grandeur runs out of luck.

I found a couple of scenes in the first 10 minutes watchable, after this I was born rigid. Not sure if it was supposed to be a drama, a comedy or what. Segal was utterly unconvincing. The psychedelic music and lights were probably in at the time but are now just an irritation. A very poor movie despite a few very big names being in the cast.         1/10
