Conquest Of Cochise 1953

Starring: Robert Stack

An army major is sent to make peace with Cochise, the Apache.

Traditional cowboy's and Injuns with a Mexican twist. War, peace and a little romance. Classic ingredients but a little tame.            5/10

The Gene Krupa Story 1959

Starring: Sal Mineo

A successful jazz drummer is convicted on a drugs charge and falls from grace.

A wasn't aware of this fella and as biopics go, this is not bad. Lots of upbeat jazz music to get the foot tapping and the whole thing looked great.         6/10

Make Me an Offer 1954

Starring: Peter Finch

An antique dealer has an ambition to own a famous vase.

A gentle British movie set in the antique World. Novel because of its subject matter and Finch played the lead role nicely. Not a lot happens to be honest and yet ot holds a certain charm throughout.

A loved the line early on "We teach children how to cross the road, why don't we teach them not to go into the antique trade?"           7/10

Okinawa 1952

Starring: Pat O'Brien

Adventures of the gun crew of a Pacific destroyer.

Too much talking and not enough action. Waiting for the Japanese Kamikaze to attack. A few good plane scenes but instantly forgettable.     4/10
