the treasure of san teresa (1959)

aka Hot Money Girl. Long Distance.
"I didn't steal your money, I put it where your father told me to put it, and its still there."
An American ex-serviceman (Eddie Constantine) returns to Europe, and hooks up with old flame Heidi Von Hartmann (Dawn Addams), a German general's daughter, to retrieve the haul he hid during the war. But others find out about the jewels and are also determined to get their hands on them...
Taut little thriller, that unfortunately is riddled with plot holes.

carry on nurse (1959)


"It's Matron's round...Mine's a pint!"
Haven Hospital men's ward is in chaos due to a new and formidable Matron (Hattie Jacques). They finally snap and devise a plan to take revenge on Matron. They also hit on a plan to help one patient jump the operation waiting list, by operating on him themselves.
The second Carry on see's the ensemble slowly starting to come together, and the formula of risqué slapstick humour can be glimpsed for the first time, though in a very mild form.
