Dodsworth. 1936


Starring: Walter Huston

An American businessman takes his wife on a tour of Europe, and their lives are changed.

Great modernised re-print, lots of interesting location, unfortunately the constant arguing and bickering made it all rather tiresome.           3/10

Never cry Wolf. 1983

Starring: Charles Martin Smith

A scientist is dumped alone in the Arctic to collect evidence against wolves.

An odd movie in many ways and yet it hypnotises you in. Having spent a week north of the Arctic Circle last year, I'm not sure as this was nearly bleak enough. The wolves and the scenery are the true stars.      6/10

The Wizard 1989

Starring: Fred Savage

A young boy runs away with his almost-mute even younger brother in order to compete in a video game championship.

Found this on Netflix, a decent road movie with Fred Savage strong and interesting to see a young Christian Slater. Didn't buy in to the bounty hunter portrayal at all. Keep watching to the end and there is a quite moving scene that neatly makes sense of everything that's been going on.      8/10

Four Men And A Prayer. 1938




Starring: Loretta Young

Four young Englishmen set out to clear the name of their dishonoured father.

Starts strongly, then gets little convoluted and confused. Strong, harrowing firing range scene and a moralistic message about gun running. David Niven for the second Sunday in a row.      5/10
