The Mad Doctor 1940

 

Starring: Basil Rathbone

A doctor marries wealthy women and then murders them.

I think that Rathbone was an exceptional actor and was brilliant as Sherlock Holmes, this was just too routine and never took off for me.   3/10

He Ran All the Way 1951

 

Starring: John Garfield

A hoodlum on the run from the police virtually picks up a girl and hides in her family's apartment.

The type of movie you've seen many times before. The family were actually well cast and you believed them as a family unit. Fairly unsurprising ending. Watchable enough although unoriginal.      6/10

The Last Posse 1953

 

Starring: Broderick Crawford

Members of a thief-catching posse fall out on the way and return in disgrace.

I liked the early stages, the rich and poor line has modern connections. I thought it lost interest once the posse was out on the trail.     5/10

The Second Time Around. 1961

 

Starring: Debbie Reynolds

In 1912 Arizona, a widow stands for sheriff and has plenty of choice for a husband.

Absolutely loved this, Debbie Reynolds was perfect in the lead role, a fiery strength but with a twinkle in her eye. Lovely slapstick humour at times and plenty of bar room brawls to keep Western fans happy. Brilliant!     9/10
