The Trouble With Harry 1955

 

Starring: Edmund Gwenn

In the New England woods, various reasons cause various people to find and bury the same body.

Hitchcock and early Shirley Maclaine, what could go wrong. Well, the idea of the same body being buried, dug up and buried again is quite amusing, but you can't hang a movie on it for 100 minutes. Watchable but a bit of a disappointment. 5/10

Princess Caraboo. 1994

 

Starring: Phoebe Cates

A mysterious young woman speaking a strange language shows up in an English village, where she is taken in by aristocrats who assume she is a foreign princess

A film for all the family, excellent cast with Phoebe Cates perfect in the lead. All a little far fetched until you realise that the basis of this movie comes from a true story, fascinating to read about that on Wikipedia. Interesting movie.     7/10

Evergreen. 1934

 

Starring: Jessie Matthews

A star's daughter takes her mother's place, with romantic complications.

Old school song and dance piece, some of the big group numbers were easy to watch, the rest of the movie didn't really do it for me.      3/10

The Quare Fellow. 1962

 

Starring: Patrick McGoohan

Life in a Dublin prison when two men are to be hanged, as experienced by a new young warder.

Still quite a powerful piece, well acted and really traumatising in its subject matters. Definitely a place for this still to be seen.   6/10
