Don't Talk to Strange Men
An atmospheric and taut litte second feature, slightly expoiltive and lacking in character depth. But in holds the viewers attention for an hour.

Don't Take Sweets From A Stranger. An unusual Hammer film about a small Canadian community with a paedophile in their midst. Good performances from all the cast and an intelligent script make this worth seeing. It's message, still relevant today, is powerfully conveyed right up to the shocking conclusion. Recommended.

I thought it was 'Never'

I'll have to dig these two out again and blow the dust off them.
I particularly like 'Don't Talk to Strange Men'

Well you know what they say ... never say 'Never'

A slip of the ol' typing fingers .... the version I saw was the US one called Never Take Candy From A Stranger .... so I was wrong twice!

I watched Don't Talk To Strange Men the other week, good film.

Five fingers, with James Mason and Michael Rennie. Utterly superb, taught atmospheric spy thriller, Mason was perfect in the role, filming at the actual locations added to the authenticity and made it even more enjoyable. The ending was a surprise and quite perfect.

Rag Trade (Series One).

I was looking forward to catching up with this television "classic" from the sixties but found it more silly than entertaining.

It was fun seeing the likes of Reg Varney, Peter Jones, Miriam Karlin, Barbara Windsor, Sheila Hancock, Esma Cannon, Ann Beach and Judy Carne (whatever happened to her?) in the early days of their television careers.

The good laughs though were few and far between in what were, looking back now, rather poor scripts.

Witching Time from the Hammer House of Horror, very very good.

MY LOVER,MY SON 1970


Dennis Waterman( very young with a very posh accent) gets confused about family life with
mother Romy Scheider ,subject matter aside this is a well made thriller/study of madness
Excellent supporting cast includes Donald Houston,Peter Sallis and a very good Patricia Brake in a non-comedic role.

Enjoyable

The Secret Place
Another 50s crime drama concerning the involvement of a small child. Diverting but not one you would view a second time.

Romy Schneider as Dennis Waterman's mother? Blimey...

Last night I watched Say Hello To Yesterday from 1971 starring Jean Simmons, Leonard Whiting and Evelyn Laye. Very enjoyable film and very good perormances from the 3 main leads. Good use of London locations and an extremely catchy theme tune from Riz Ortolani. Incidentally, the theme song at the end of the film is sung by Mark Wynter.

The Blackheath Poisonings. Excellent murder mystery.

The Sailor from Gibraltar 1967


Ian Bannen has a midlife crisis and leaves girlfriend Vannesa Redgrave on holiday for a boat trip
with a loopy Jeanne Moreau who is searching for a mythical or not Sailor from...........
Too prententious for a simpleton like me, there is hidden meaning about lonliness in the sub text
but I got lost after a strange musical interlude by Miss Moreau,and a trip to Africa
Interstellar involvement including Orson Welles and Tony Richardsons direction cant save it for me.

It probably has profound meaning somewhere in it, but It went right over me and left me thoroughly bored!

Perhaps we need a new thread on improbably-cast screen family relationships?
