Guns Of Darkness. 1962

Starring: David Niven

A British plantation boss in Latin America escapes with his wife when rebels strike.

Decent drama with an excellent scene in a swamp halfway through the movie. Niven is very well cast and gives a great energy, James Robertson Justice didn't bark as much as usual but was still James Robertson Justice. Well worth a watch.       8/10

The Ipcress File. 1965

Starring: Michael Caine

An intelligence man traces a missing scientist and finds that one of his own superiors is a spy.

Finally got around to watching this. Some weird stuff in it but not a bad spy thriller. Caine is quite good but bettered by Gordon Jackson in a performance that surely influenced the role he later took on in The Professionals.                      7/10

Horrors Of The Black Museum. 1959

Starring: Michael Gough

A crime writer is fascinated by murder, and works out his own plots by practice beforehand.

A Hammer Horror type production which is about as scary as a walk to the local shops. Unintentionally funny with crude early style computers. Enjoyable purely because it is such nonsense.                 6/10

A Yank On The Burma Road. 1941

Starring: Barry Nelson

A tough truck driver in the Far East abandons profilings for heroism when he hears of Pearl Harbor.

A propaganda ra-ra movie, a little lost in time mow. An amusing start and action packed finish, bit in the middle wasn't great.       4/10

John And Mary. 1969

Starring: Dustin Hoffman

Two New Yorkers have a one night affair and cannot decide whether to continue.

Ah, the swinging sixties. Watchable at times and particularly early on, the movie never seemed to move on and there's only so long you can watch into peoples minds and listen to their conversations. Well cast leads.                5/10
