A dedicated schoolmistress has no chance against her slum surroundings.
RIP Glenda Jackson whose final scene is as dramatic as anything I ever saw her do. Disturbing movie set in a reform school with Oliver Reed, wonderful as the headmaster. A troublesome watch and deeply politically incorrect in modern times. 8/10
A theatrical agent grooms a gangster's dumb girl friend for stardom.
To me, the lot was kind of irrelevant. Worth seeing for Jayne Mansfield who died tragically young in her early thirties and for the awesome music that constantly pops including the likes of Little Richard. 6/10
A businessman goes to Germany to find out how the workers live.
The rich seeing how the poor live. Hit and miss comedy, enough amusing scenes to keep this ticking over, the dish washer without a lid was my highlight. Some nice comic timing and contrasts, not bad at all. 6/10
An airliner in flight from London to New York is discovered to have a bomb on board.
A decent, tense thriller. Some of the acting and a couple of scenes were over-dramatised. A Stella cast, what I liked the most was the characterisation. After 90 minutes, you came to the end feeling that you knew everybody on board. Really enjoyed this. 9/10
