Wrong Number (1959) is a 1959 British heist thriller. It has a neat little plot, terrific acting and just the right amount of humour. The vital clue is a phone call, a wrong number that might be unlucky for the thieves. A good solid B-movie.

The Verdict (1964) is a British Edgar Wallace B-movie. It concerns a gangster and a dubious visa which is a clue to a murder 20 years earlier. Well-made, well-acted, fast-moving, witty and clever with an intricate plot that works perfectly.

Madonna of the Seven Moons is a 1945 British Gainsborough melodrama but melodrama is hardly an adequate word to describe this truly bizarre film. It's beyond mere melodrama. Over-the-top, outrageously excessive, a delight from start to finish.

David Lean’s celebrated screen love story Brief Encounter (1945). Two people meet at a railway station and fall in love but they're both already married to other people. In the 1940s an insurmountable obstacle. Still packs an emotional punch.

The main problem with Carol Reed's NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH (1940) starring Margaret Lockwood is that you're going to compare it to THE LADY VANISHES with which it has a lot in common. Not as good as Hitchcock's film but a decent train thriller.

Ricochet (1963) is one of the many Edgar Wallace crime thrillers from England’s Merton Park Studios and it's a typical entry in that cycle. In other words it’s an excellent little B-movie. A solicitor decides to blackmail his own wife.
