The Long Haul

This British noir stars the lovely Diana Dors. It is about a driver played by Victor Mature. He falls for one of the criminal's girlfriend Diana Dors. The problem is he has a wife at home who didn't want him to take an initial job elsewhere. Although he has a relationship with Dors, his wife hasn't been entirely honest with him either. This was ok. It wasn't amazing but I like Diana so it was worth the watch.

The Beautiful Fantastic

This was a cute British independent movie about a librarian who dreams of becoming a children's writer. She becomes friends with the cranky neighbor next door and steals his helper from him. She also falls in love with an inventor. The only bad thing about this movie was that it was trying to be too quirky but I appreciate that it was a clean movie and that's not something you see much nowadays.

The Green Cockatoo

This is another movie starring Hayley Mills' dad. John Mills was an established actor though in his own right. A girl receives the blame for a murder she didn't commit. Along the way she runs into his brother and he agrees to protect her and uncover who really did it. This was just ok. At least it was only around an hour.

John and Irene (John og Irene)

This is a Danish film noir so it's one of its kind. Two travelling dancers are met with despair when they find out the girl is pregnant. John accidentally kills a man in his desperation to get money for them. The rest of the movie is his conscience eating at him and the inevitable consequences that follow. This was ok, not my favorite noir but one I won't forget.

Red Fish

This was a good 1950s Spanish movie. A man has been lying about the existence of having a son for years. In order to get some money he claims the kid is missing. Pretty soon he finds he is a suspect in his imaginary son's death. Not only that his girlfriend would rather date this wealthy son instead of him. Everyone likes the imaginary son more than him and things start to unravel. I thought it had an interesting plot. There was a remake but I'm not interested in seeing it.

The Other (La Otra)

Imdb.com says that Dolores Del Rio plays twins one bad one good but I think they both were awful. A girls kills her sister jealous of her wealth. She takes over her sister's life. Only she finds that her life was better before. She had a good man and not only that she blows through her sister's money. She also finds out her sister has some secrets of her own. This was a pretty good performance from Dolores Del Rio and it's an interesting Mexican noir.

Ahí viene Martín Corona

Pedro Infante plays a Robin Hood sort that helps the downtrodden. I have to admit I didn't really care for this Mexican western. I watched it because I'm a fan of Sara Montiel and she sang a couple of numbers. To be honest I was just thrilled that someone bothered to translate another one of her movies. It's best just to watch La violetera, the other Sara Montiel movie that someone bothered to translate. It's a better movie. Ahi viene Martin Corona is on tubi.
