the delavine affair (1954)

aka Murder Is News.
"I'll be careful. You be good."
Reporter Rex Banner (Peter Reynolds), gets caught up as a suspect in the murder of acquaintance Gospel Joe. But how was Joe connected to the theft of the Delavine diamonds?
Standard B movie thriller, more notable for its cast, than the story itself, with turns by Gordon Jackson, and Honor Blackman, who would find better vehicles for their talents.

night was our friend (1951)

"Why on earth did you wait for me?"
Sally Raynor (Elizabeth Sellars) is aquited of murdering her husband (Michael Gough), and we soon gather that she has only recently been reunited with him two years after his plane had gone missing in the the South American jungle. In the interviening years Sally, has fallen for another man (Ronald Howard), and Sally's husband has returned a changed man; psychologically damaged, and incapable of letting go of his demons, even considering suicide.
A promising start quickly decends into an over-talkie melodrama, when its revealed early on that his wife has bumped the hapless pilot off, ridding the film of any suspence at a stroke.

dangerous cargo (1954)

"Tell 'em when the planes are coming in and here's 500 quid!"
An airport cargo handler, Tom Matthews (Jack Watling), bumps into old wartime chum, Harry (Terence Alexander). Harry insists on treating Tom and his wife Janie (Susan Stephen) to a night out grayhound racing and have a great time. However Harry is part of a gang that intends to mount a raid on the airport and they need some inside information. So when Tom and Harry re-visits the dogs and Tom ends up owing the bookmakers, he comes under pressure to give up the info the gang needs.
Only mildly diverting B movie crime caper. More interesting for an uncomfortable John Le Mesurier playing a dodgy foreigner, with an even more dodgy accent.
