The Black Shield of Falworth 1954

★★★ Watched 23 Apr 2023

Tony Curtis leaping around in tights, getting into scraps in the dormitory and scaling castle walls for love - perfect matinée material.
The Buccaneer 1958

★★★½ Watched 16 Apr 2023

Excellent fun and the storyline holds a lot better than many a swashbuckler. A perfect weekend matinée. Charles Boyer (57 years old at the time) is his signature suave and witty self. Yuk Brynner also on solid devastatingly dashing form except some heathen put him in a wig.

Song of Freedom 1936

★★★★ Watched 05 Mar 2021

If Paul Robeson's singing voice doesn't make your eyes well with tears, I'm afraid you're dead inside.
The Green Cockatoo 1937

★ Watched 31 Dec 2021

This is only plausible if you accept that the woman lead, Eileen (played by Rene Ray), is of such low intellect that she cannot hold a basic conversation or manage simple tasks.
The star is for Millsy's pinstripe suit.
