Paris After Dark 1943

 

Starring: George Sanders

In wartime Paris a doctor leads the resistance forces.

Made during the war, this turned out to be a bit of an emotional roller coaster. Shows the pointlessness and tragedy of war but was well put together, didn't glamourise and was really quite sad in places, the way that families accepted these tragedies almost as a matter of course, even sadder.    7/10

Never Wave At A WAC 1952


 Starring: Rosalind Russell

A Washington hostess joins the WACs and finds she can't get beyond the rank of private.

All a bit of fluff really, a nice idea and some decent characterisations, it's just lacking a bit in the plot front.   4/10

Drums In The Deep South 195 1


 Starring: James Craig

A confederate officer finds himself fighting a lonely battle with his best friend from West Point.

A slow burner, little interest early on, there turned out to be some good action and the scenes and tactics in trying to get the soldiers from the mountain were excellent.      6/10
