It's All Yours 1937

 

Starring: Madeleine Carroll

A millionaire leaves a fortune to his favourite secretary, hoping it will make his nephew take notice of her.

Quite enjoyed this at the start but is rapidly went downhill and became a little silly. The accent on the men was unnecessary and very difficult to listen to.   3/10

All The Right Noises 1969


 Starring: Tom Bell

The electrician of a touring company hs an affair with a 15-year-old actress, but finally returns to his wife.

So British, a slightly uncomfortable watch and yet Olivia Hussey is so engaging, you can't stop watching. I loved the nostalgia, the father is brilliantly portrayed and there is an ambiguity at the end which would make a great discussion. Haunting soundtrack, what an interesting movie.  8/10

Total Recall 1990

 

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger

Following an artificially-induced dream, a labourer remembers his previous existence as a secret agent on Mars.

Started okay but rapidly deteriorated for me. I'm not the biggest fan of sci-fi, but there has to be a level of believability, however far fetched. Lots of action, particularly if you like people diving through glass panes for no apparent reason. More than anything, this is unnecessarily violent which makes it deeply unpleasant.  3/10
