Watched this yesterday afternoon, a great watch. Shame that they screened it before the "watershed" and edited the bit where Jean Marsh "ventilated" Larry Hagman's helmet :)Quote:

That's a Classic movie, rarely seen now. I thought it was brilliant when I was a lad.
The Return of Sherlock Holmes. The Bruce Partington Plans, 1988.
Quality show this starring Jeremy Brett. He apparently went a bit off rails playing the part. It apparently engulfed him

Wasnt overly popular in the day and the FBI had this to say(honest they did)
On May 26, 1947, the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a memo stating, "With regard to the picture 'It's a Wonderful Life', [redacted] stated in substance that the film represented rather obvious attempts to discredit bankers by casting Lionel Barrymore as a 'scrooge-type' so that he would be the most hated man in the picture. This, according to these sources, is a common trick used by Communists. [In] addition, [redacted] stated that, in his opinion, this picture deliberately maligned the upper class, attempting to show the people who had money were mean and despicable characters."
now classed as one of the greatest films ever... lesson, dont believe what the fbi and the "man" says :D
Scarlet Street, 1945. Directed by Fritz Lang.

I have a copy, and enjoy watching it occasionaly - but to be honest it is a bit soppy, sentimental and naive, even if the the ending is life affirming.Quote:
