Those Were The Days 1940

 

Starring: William Holden

During their 40th anniversary celebrations, a married couple look back to their courtship days at college.

Set around the fraternity scene at Knox College, everything that the students got up to seems so tame, not a patch on the outrageous 'Animal House' but had occasional moments.   4/10

Internes Can't Take Money 1937

 

Starring: Joel McCrea

A hospital doctor persuades a gangster friend to help a woman find her missing child.

The screen debut of Dr Kildare and he comes into the company of Barbara Stanwyck. Kildare is a bit like Macgyver and uses everything around him to aid in operations. Movie can't quite make up its mind whether it's a medical drama or a crime drama but the ending is beautifully done.    6/10

Alive And Kicking 1958

 

Staring: Sybil Thorndike

Three old ladies escape from a home to an Irish island.

Utterly bonkers and yet charming. It's full on and quite exhausting to watch, once you set yourself at piece with the goings on, it is good fun and made me laugh out loud a few times. 7/10

Kill Me Tomorrow 1957

 

Starring Pat O'Brien

A down-and-out reporter confuses to murder in order to obtain cash for his son's operation.

Although slightly flawed, I just never bought Pat O'Brien as the son's father, this is a decent thriller that zipped along nicely, the plot was well constructed and there were interesting characters. Good locations of London and great to see an upcoming Tommy Steele singing a couple of times in a bar.    7/10
