Peck's bad boy 1934

Starring: Jackie Cooper

Adventures of a well-intentioned but accident-prone boy in a midwestern town.

Quite a moving little drama of a boy who lives with his widowed father and finds out that he's an orphan when his Aunt and cousin come to stay. Very dated and the bad behaviour in this day and age isn't given a second thought. But Jackie Cooper carries this movie and gives a strong and thought-provoking performance.         7/10

Johnny Angel 1945

Starring: George Raft

A seaman solves the mystery of his father's ship, found empty and adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.

Standard little thriller. It had its moments but never really caught fire. The actors lacked attack and it seemed extremely single-paced for a lot of the movie. Elderly secretary Miss Drumm was the only character of real interest - A nice performance.     3/10

Falling in love again 1980

Starring: Elliott Gould

A middle-aged New Yorker remembers his young romances and his dreams of success.

This starts of in a dreamy kind of way and struggles to get out of first gear. It does have a certain charm though and I did find myself completely wrapped up in the story. Elliott Gould was great and nice to see Michelle Pfeiffer in a very early role. The moral for me in this, despite the happy ending, is that you should never go back.      6/10

Eyes in the night 1942

Starring: Edward Arnold

A blind detective sets out to discover whether a mysterious man engaged to an heiress is really a Nazi spy.

A standrad crime plot is made  a lot more interesting with the lead character being blind. The broken Mother - step-daughter relationship adds another twist. Edward Arnold is really rather good in the lead role & this is a more than watchable little thriller.              7/10
