It Always Rains On A Sunday 1947

 

Starring: Googie Withers

An escaped convict takes refuge in his married mistress's house in East London.

Decent thriller which is quite atmospheric and well acted with the East End nicely captured. Exciting ending, one little scene with two railway trucks and the points I absolutely loved. Jck Warner was as disappointing as ever.   6/10

You can't cheat an honest man 1939

 

Starring: W C Fields

Trials and tribulations of a circus owner.

Some nice parts including scenes with lions and an elephant giving a shower, WC Fields was irritating, the show was stolen by the ventriloquist dummy.   5/10

Offbeat 1960

 

Starring: William Sylvester

An MI5 undercover man finds himself sympathising with a gang of robbers and falling in love with one of them.

Decent crime thriller with a nice different take, loads of time spent on the planning and execution of the jewel robbery which added well to the plot. All quite satisfactory.     7/10
