cavalcade of variety (1941)

A mixed bag thrown together.

freedom to die (1961)

"The trouble with you muscles is that you think too much."
A jailbreak by Craig Owen (Paul Maxwell) leads to the death of a young girl, but he's too concerned with getting revenge on his old mates to notice.
Above average crime drama, as the script adds some interesting back stories to flesh out the plot.

aka Little Girls Lost.
"Let's stay on the surface shall we."
Private investigators hire Ginger (Cheri Caffaro) to go undercover in an attempt to bust open a gang running a drug, blackmail and prostitution ring in a small town run by Rex Halsey (Duane Tucker).
Simplistic and clunky sex and drugsloitation.

Professor Grayson (Eliot Makeham) is working on an anti-gas device, but masked as a peace campaigner Dr. Klee (Noel Madison) wants to get his hands on it for nefarious reasons. It's up to the dashing Capt Grant (John Loder) to see throuhgh the plot and rescue the day.
Spy drama tapping into the paranoia of pre-war Britain.

When Jeannie MacTaggart (Barbara Mullen) comes back to Scotland, after a trip to Glasgow, everyone believes her to be dead. She realises that they buried her twin sister, but how does one go about proving one is alive when there is a death certificate proving she is dead?
Mildly comic as we watch a grannie committing ever more outrageous criminal acts, in an attempt to get the authorities to act.

randle and all that (1946)

"Well I'll follow you."
Variety show, presenting on stage song and dance, comedy acrobats and comedians, including Frank Randle playing an elderly shoe repairer.
At least its blissfully short.

Run of the mill melodrama.
