street corner (1953)

aka Both Sides of the Law.
"Oh dear, not another!"
Three stories that revolve around the work of policewomen. The first has a young newly wed (Peggy Cummins) with child, who takes up with a petty thug. The second tells of a young woman who deserts the army to marry, and is subsequently caught when she rescues a child from drowning. The third story features a mistreated baby, who is reunited with its mother.
An unassuming film that develops character rather than drama, from a an almost wholly female crew and perspective.

to dorothy a son (1954)

aka Cash on delivery.
"I love you Elmer, I mean Tony."
Tony Rapallo (John Gregson) and his wife Dorothy (Peggy Cummins) are making heavy weather of having a baby. Then to make things worse Tony's first wife Myrtle (Shelley Winters) arrives. She tries to tempt him back with news that she is about to inherit $2m from her uncle, but what she doesn't tell him is the inheritance is dependant on him not having any male heirs.
A comedy that wears quickly.

rattle of a simple man (1964)

"I'm as good as you lot any day!"
A gang of Manchester United fans are up in London for the Cup final. They include Percy (Harry H. Corbett), a 39 year old mother's boy. When the lads end up in a stripclub Percy takes a drunken bet to chat up and sleep with Cyrenne (Diane Cilento), who he considers a lady, but the rest of the lads have clocked as a prostitute. Feeling sorry for him, (having overheard the bet), she takes him home. There he opens up to her and begins to believe that she may be the one.
Apart from Corbett's appalling northern accent, this is a charming character study, full of gentle humour, that adds a level of drama half way though, when the lady's delightful upbringing is unveiled, and we see she is in fact from an abusive Italian family.
