Quite interesting that Peter Rogers diverted his focus in the early seventies to produce these few harder edged films such as ASSAULT and ALL COPPERS ARE... Must re-read his book and refresh my memory on the reason for this.

Tales from the Crypt. Not sure why Richard Green was in so much trouble but that apart good film. Master class in acting from Patrick & Magee.

Thought Cushing stole it IMHO. What do you mean about RG in so much trouble - with his acting ?
Thats the joke that killed the Music Hall !

It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Delightful film even if the sweetness is laid on a tad thick.

Crossplot (1969) Great film to just lay back and enjoy without thinking too much about it, okay it might not be brilliant but Roger Moore is in fine form so what more is required?

Enigma (2001) I thoroughly enjoyed this, Dougray Scott was not an actor I was familiar with, but he is excellent in the lead here along with lovely Kate Winslet and a superbly smarmy Jeremy Northam. Part love story, part mystery and war story and it does not fail on any level.

He was a bit wooden, but what had he done to end up in Hell ???

A compentant thriller weighed down with too much double crossing and characters who are never likable and a penultimate scene
which sees the main character as far too cold hearted with few redeeming features.


Sadly,in spite of the cast a disappointment for me.
thanks to my fellow poster A Pemberton I watched this film last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thought Johnson was very good as was the amazing Diana Dors. Thanks once again

The Saint episode The Abductors from 1965 with Dudley Foster as a hissable vilain with a dodgy Welsh accent, Robert Urquhart as a drunk, Nicholas Courtney as the villain's henchman with a sideline in strangling, Anthony Chin as a Chinese spy, and Annette Andre as totty of the week.

Oh, and Roger Moore.

Old Redgrave's finest hour similar to Cecil Trouncer in the Guinea Pig

INDISCREET - Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in a rather drawn out - and therefore tedious - simple romantic comedy. Difficult to build up any sympathy for either of the lead characters as they are broadly drawn as shallow as selfish. The film's only redeeming feature is a supporting cast of British stalwarts including Phyllis Calvert, Cecil Parker (great as the wry brother-in-law) and David Kossoff (sublimely manic in the 'jealousy' scene).

Not one of Stanley Donen's finest moments...

The Yellow Balloon (1953) DVD-R. Rather good drama with young Andrew Ray giving an excellent performance, fascinating social aspects too with Constable Bernard Lee called sir by street entertainers, and no bathroom in the Ray flat. William Sylvester is good as nasty Len as Kenneth More and Kathleen Ryan are as the boys parents.
