Tight Spot 1955

 

Starring: Ginger Rogers

A material witness in the trial of a gangster is released from prison in the custody of an attorney.

Quite a strong thriller, Ginger Roger is very believable and Robinson has a determined, single track determination which drives the piece along. A nice twist as well, this is a slow burner but the last half hour is excellent.    8/10

The Mean Season 1985

 

Starring: Kurt Russell

A Miami police reporter becomes the personal spokesman for a murderous psychopath.

Turning a blind eye to the ludicrous nature of the premise, this is actually quite. decent thriller. Russell is very believable and the murderer is excellently depicted and is suitable unnerving.     8/10

Convict 99 1938

 

Starring: Will Hay

A seedy schoolmaster accidentally becomes a prison governor and lets the convicts run the place.

A very old movie, exhausting to watch due to the frenetic pace of acting and line delivery. In modern times, the humour is still there in places and it did make me smile from time to time.  5/10
