The Enemy General 1960

Starring: Van Johnson

An American officer takes revenge on the German general who executed his fiancee.

Pretty good war drama with lots of tension and action. As is often the way, the archive clips shown occasionally taken during the war, somehow were the most poignant.       7/10

Navy Wife 1956

Starring: Joan Bennett

A commander's wife visits her husband in Japan and learns about Japanese attitudes.

A very gentle, light-hearted movie but dear God, is it patronizing towards the Japanese. Shows you how much smaller the World has come in 60 years and how modernised both attitudes and way of life has become. Interesting but certainly not funny.     6/10 
 

Garden Of Evil 1954

Starring: Susan Heyward

En route to the Californian goldfields an ex-sheriff and a gambler help a woman to rescue her husband from a mine, but are trapped by Indians.

A sort of Western, road movie. Dragged a little at times but also had some good action scenes. One fist fight where a guy landed on the fire not once, not twice, but three times and one of the funniest death scenes by a guy with arrows in him that I've seen for a while.     6/10

The Alligator People 1959

Starring: George MacReady

A doctor uses a revolutionary serum which unfortunately turns patients into the alligators from which it was derived.

One of those so bad that it was good movies. The effects of when a patient had fully turned into a gator is hilarious. A don't want to knock it, it's no masterpiece, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and it just made me smile.         6/10
