Starring: Victor McLaglen
Greedy white men seek riches in pearls by cheating and overworking the natives.
I felt that this was portrayed in too light hearted a way. You had the potential of a good story here and if it had been done as a straight drama/adventure I feel it would have been a lot more effective. Had a few good moments. 4/10

Take care of my little girl 1951
Starring: Jeanne Crain
A University freshwoman gets into trouble with her sorority.
Kind of the TV series Greek about 40 years earlier. Very dated and things that were portrayed as scandalous you would barely raise an eyebrow at now. Quite slow paced and not gripping, but interesting to see. 5/10

Superdad 1974
Starring: Bob Crane
A lawyer is determined to rule the life of his teenage daughter.
The thing about Disney movies is you know nobody will get hurt, they're easy to watch and leave you with a smile on your face. This was no exception, not the best I've ever seen and the scenes with Klutch didn't work for me, but a nice little movie none the less. 6/10

Cat Balou 1965
Starring: Jane Fonda
Young Catherine Ballou hires a drunken gunfighter to protect her father from a vicious gunman, but despite her efforts he is shot, so she turns outlaw.
The ballad sung in the opening scene including Nat King Cole immediately got me on board. I loved all the ballads, Lee Marvin was brilliant and deserved the Oscar he received and Jane Fonda looked positively gorgeous throughout. Occasionally, this missed the mark, but it made me laugh on several occasions and was great fun. 7/10
