Sanctuary 1960

 

Starring: Lee Remick

The governor's daughter is seduced by a bootlegger, and her life goes from one tragedy to another.

Could be relevant to so many modern relationships. Steamy, sultry, not an easy watch and Temple seemed a bizarre choice of name for the lead character. Lee Remick is good but Odetta is outstanding and brings this movie together.  4/10

The Loves Of Carmen 1948

 

Starring: Rita Hayworth

In 1820s Seville, a dragoon corporal is enslaved by a gy[sy, kills her husband and becomes an outlaw.

A spirited performance by Rita Hayworth although she sound in the least bit Spanish. Glenn Ford gives an excellent example of character development from the niece soldier to criminal besotted by a woman. Although flawed, the movie is good fun.    6/10

The Unseen 1945

 

Starring: Joel McCrea

A London governess comes to suspect that dark deeds have taken place in the empty house next door.

Not a bad thriller, Gail Russell who died tragically young was the real star here. A love the way that classic moves depict murder and create tension. Music, light and shadows has so much more impact than the gore of today.    6/10
