North Dallas Forty 1979


 Starring: Nick Nolte

The gruelling life of a professional football player, laced with drugs, sex and alcohol.

Boys will be boys! All a little tedious watching grown men shout, slam about and behave like children. Thank goodness for Nick Nolte who is utterly believable in a very good performance.   6/10

Nazi Agent 1942

 

Starring: Conrad Veidt

A German-American is forced by his Nazi twin to help a group of German spies.

Made during the war, a little too talkative for my liking, needed a little light & shade.      4/10

Detective Story 1951

 

Starring: Kirk Douglas

A day in a New York precinct police station, during which a detective of almost pathological righteousness discovers a stain on. his family and himself becomes victim of violence.

A stage play and probably better delivered in that format. An interesting idea but a little too much until we reach the dramatic conclusion.   4/10

The Nanny 1965

 

Starring: Bette Davis

A ten-year old boy hates his nanny, and with good reason, for she is a neurotic murderess.

Forget your modern day, slasher movies. This is truly terrifying, quite frankly all of the nanny, mother and boy are unhinged. Brilliantly put together, this keeps you on the edge of your seat.     8/10
