Thanks for the feed-back Ron.
11:30 THE COURTNEYS OF CURZON STREET (1947) 14:00 ROOMS (1975) Premiere 15:00 WEEKEND WITH LULU (1961)* 16:45 WARLORDS OF ATLANTIS (1978) 18:50 MALTA STORY (1953) 21:00 THE HUMAN JUNGLE (1965) 22:00 THEY WERE SISTERS (1945)
*Basically a story about Tim (Leslie Phillips), who wants to spend quality time with his girl Dierdre (the very pretty Shirley Eaton). He rents "Lulu", which is a trailer hitched to an ice cream truck driven by Fred (Bob Monkhouse). Tim's plans are hampered when Dierdre's mom Florence (Irene Handl) comes along for the ride, her being stuffy and wary of Tim. They head to the seashore but take a wrong turn and end up on a freight train, where they are soon in France. What follows is a screwball comedy about how they are looking to get home. They end up having to dodge the police, stealing to get petrol and being in the middle of situations (including interrupting the Tour de France!). This is a fun, non-offensive comedy with good acting from these comedy legends, especially Irene Handl. While not essential, it puts a smile on your face and keeps your interest. If you like vintage British comedy, this will be definitely worth your time.

I was obsessed with The October Man for ages. I'd taped it off TV but seen only a few seconds of it, a shot showing a man leaving a house at dusk. I kept thinking what an amazing shot it was, and resolved to see the film as soon as I could, which turned out to be quite a long time: and when I did come to watch it the tape had broken, so I had to wait again.
Anyway, I did see it eventually, and it is good, very strange and atmospheric; but I didn't notice the shot that had initially captivated me - probably because there were so many that had the same kind of feel to them.

Brilliant film, and I always like to watch Laurel and Hardy. Best channel by far.

Scream of Fear is a great film. Genuinely scary as well.
