...Filmed on location in Weybridge, so Sanndevil should know all about it.

Somebody I used to know recalled watching John Mills filming out there - could never recall the title though... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The Psychopath and The Runaway Bus courtesy of Mr Smudge.

The Psychopath was Robert 'Psycho' Bloch taking his premise from Hitch's film and reversing the mother/son relationship. Unfortunately it's fairly predictable and despite the odd red herring you quickly work out 'whodunnit'.

Trivia time: The character of Insp. Holloway would later reappear in an the Bloch-scripted The House That Dripped Blood (1970).

Thanks for the plug DB7....glad to be of service ! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

Personally I can never get over Grandpa (Toke Towneley) from Emmerdale Farm [that's Enema-dale for more up-to-date viewers] being a shifty little villain in THE RUNAWAY BUS.

Nice little vehicle (no pun intended) for Frankie Howerd though ; a light touch throughout and fairly straight from that hard to place comic, not so much 'mugging'.

Also, of course, the lovely and much missed Belinda Lee [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wub.gif[/img]

But how could they cast dear old Margaret Rutherford as a baddie? :scold:

(Altho by this stage of the film there weren't many suspects left)

The ever wonderful "The Wild Geese".
Superb cast, great charcters, top notch acting all round, intelligent and engaging plot, wonderful score by Roy Budd yet again, violent, ruthless, bleak, cynical and yet with some well judged sadonic humour.

:grin: i think she and Grandad make a MARVELLOUS pair of baddies !

Let's face it, if I were in the queue at the bank and they came in and did 'the job', I'd be there helping them load the bags.... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laughing.gif[/img]

Talking
Victim (1961)

Ground breaking stuff.

Dirk Bogarde is a married homosexual barrister who is a victim of a blackmail plot. Sylvia Syms as his confused wife; looking lovely as only she can. Fine support; if a little too infrequent; from Dennis Price.
Also Derren Nesbitt, who just has that something; he is just so cool.
Beautifully shot around loads of London locations, with a good proportion of night shot footage.

80, 000 Suspects 1963.

Rereading Robert Murphy's 'Sixties British Cineama' (for about the hundreth time!) made me dig out this Val Guest movie. It's not as good as his HELL IS A CITY or JIGSAW, possibly because the romantic agnst between Johnson and Bloom isn't strong enough to centre the epidimic plot (it never reaches the heights of THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE).

Richard Johnson is excellent in this, while Claire Bloom give fine support and some discreat topless nudity (as a still in Murphy's book shows)

The Small World of Sammy Lee (1963)

Anthony Newley's portrayal of Sammy Lee can only be described as stunning, the role fits him like a glove.
He plays a small time strip show compere who is deeply in debt with a local gangster, who 'sends the boys round' and as a result, Sammy spends the whole film trying to raise the cash.
A fine supporting cast see here and beautifully filmed around Soho and East London.

BTW, if anyone has a decent copy of this film, please get in touch.
