Elopement 1951

Starring: Clifton Webb

A girl student eloping with her professor is chased by her father.

They don't make them like this any more. So refreshing to see this sort of movie without sordid sex, swearing etc. Just a nice old fashioned comedy that puts a smile on your face.    7/10

Winter Of Our Dreams 1981

Starring: Judy Davis

A bookseller investigates the suicide of an old girl friend, and becomes involved with an unhappy prostitute.

Very low key. The old 'Tart with a heart' theme. Quite nicely done if lacking any real pace changes, Judy Davis and Bryan Brown are both very watchable.      6/10

City On Fire 1979

Starring: Barry Newman

A slum fire threatens an entire city.

This era was golden for disaster movies. Some good special effects and stunts at times, sadly the script didn't really live up to it. Henry Fonda who cruised through this a little was different class.    6/10

Dear Murderer 1947

Starring: Eric Portman

Plot and counterplot among an adulterous triangle.

More like an episode of Dixon Of Dock Green than a movie. Reasonable enough although the melodramatic moments were a little overplayed.      5/10
