Nocturne 1946

Starring: George Raft

A police detective investigates the death of a c composer.

Standard, was it murder or suicide movie. Some of the plot was acceptable as were a few of the characters. the main problem was that George Raft played the central character with a total lack of charisma and it just resulted in the whole thing being a little dull.          4/10

Triple echo 1972

Starring: Glenda Jackson

In 1942, a soldier's wife welcomes another soldier to her farm for tea; He desertsand poses as her sister.

Highly unusual movie, one of Glenda Jackson's more watchable roles, Oliver Reed as menacing and powerful, he may have had his issues but he really was a brilliant actor.     8/10

Separate tables 1958

Starring: Burt Lancaster

Emotional tensions among the boarders at a British seaside guest house.

Adaptation of the play by Terence Rattigan. John & Ann were Americonized for reasons that I couldn't understand. The whole thing was fascinating, mainly due to the strong performances by all the cast. David Niven gave as strong and vulnerable performance as I have ever seen from him.      7/10
