Miss Tulip stays the night

This was a 1950s British comedy about an old woman who stays with a couple for a night and is discovered dead the next morning. The couple seek to solve the mystery. It was ok, nothing life changing. The real reason to watch this is Diana Dors, England's Marilyn Monroe at the time. She's charming and gorgeous. (She could sing too. She made a good album.) It's 68 minutes so if you're a Diana Dors fan it's worth watching.

The Servant

This is regarded as Joseph Losey's best film, a homoerotic movie about a servant taking over his master. The performances were very good especially from Dick Bogarde but I just liked The Prowler and The Sleeping Tiger more. The only thing that I would really change about this movie is that they only had one Cleo Laine song which kind of got annoying. They should have had more from her.
