10.5.15

what a carry on! (1949)

"I don't think I want to play at soldiers."
The army life appeals to Jimmy and Ben (Jimmy Jewel & Ben Warriss) and immediately become embroiled with their sergeant-major (Josef Locke).
Minimal plotting allows for the duo's comic routines to come thick and fast.

10.1.11

tomorrow at ten (1964)


"This fella is prepared for everything."
The police (John Gregson & Kenneth Cope) become involved in a child abduction. They apprehend his captor (Robert Shaw), but unfortunately he's knocked unconscious and suffers a brain hemmorage before revealing where he left the boy. Slightly problematical as the child has been left with a present, a toy with a time bomb inside, set to go off tomorrow at ten!
Comfort directs another b-flick with the discipline you come to expect from him. Nothing flashy, just a taut drama that builds the tension.
