Cattle Drive 1951

 

Starring: Joel McCrea

The spoiled teenage son of a magnate finds humanity and friendship with a cowhand during a cattle drive.

Not that often that you find a young lad like this taking the lead in a movie. Does a really good job, not overly high on excitement but extremely watchable with an excellent performance by young Dean Stockwell.     8/10

Twenty-One Days 1937

 

Starring: Laurence Olivier

A barrister's brother accidentally kills a man and lets an old eccentric take the blame.

Very dated but fascinating to see Olivier, Vivien Leigh & Leslie Banks in their prime.   4/10

The Drifter 1988

 

Starring: Kim Delaney

An attractive, ambitious career woman gets flat tire on a lonely road and impulsively picks up an enigmatic hitchhiker, but after spending the night with him, she can't make him understand she doesn't want to continue their relationship.

Not a bad thriller, good tension built, although it went slightly weird at the end.    6/10

Improper Channels 1979


 Starring: Alan Arkin

A father runs into administrative trouble when he takes his injured daughter to hospital.

Very 1970's. Although this is over-exaggerated, there is a serious message filtering through that admin often is given more emphasis than the health of a patient.    5/10
