The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre: Number Six (1962)
Entertaining combination of humour, glamour and menace
I really enjoyed this episode of series due to its excellent story, casting, direction and cinematography. I wish they were all up at this level. Some very good individual performances by the talented actors on show here.
The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre: The Set Up (1962)
Lovely period piece with some excellent acting
Unlike with many of the lesser EWMT episodes you can actually follow a proper constructed story in this one. My fave aspect is the performance of John Carson as Inspector Jackson. JC puts in a witty, intelligent, strong but sensitive turn and is a delight to watch including a scene with his real life wife actress who also features.
The Post (2017)
Lost in translation
As an Englishman I don't blame my American cousins for wanting to expose evil and wrongdoing by former senior politicians. But this film actually made me feel a bit of sympathy for the past Presidents and their cronies who were being tried in their absence here. But my main feeling watching this film was boredom caused by the actors repeating the same sentiment relentlessly for around 90 minutes. And the lack of visual variety/ dull locations. It was all summed up for me in the scene when they all looked amazed when peering into a cardboard box. You'd think they were looking at the contents of Tutankhamen tomb when all that was visible was a stack of A4 paper. I usually like to watch films at least twice but once was more than enough with this one.
