Slim, a couple of films to mention on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.
Tomorrow at 21.05 "Cash on Demand" (1961) which starred Peter Cushing and Andre Morell. Cushing is a bank manager, Morell as a supposed insurance company man but a criminal. It's a very good suspense drama worth watching. It's best not to read about what happens as that would spoil the film.
Thursday at 7.20 in the morning "Lazybones" (1935). An idle baronet marries an American heiress but then finds out that she's been swindled out of her inheritance. It's an example of what were called quota quickies, films made on very low budgets and very quickly to meet the legal requirements at the time of British cinemas having to show a number of British films each year. It was often the case that the actors would be working in theatres during the day and then work in the film studios during the night. So don't expect much from such films. Having said that, the film is described as a pleasant romantic comedy and is just over an hour long. Of interest is that it was directed by Michael Powell in the days before he became a major British film director.He made around 20 of these quota quickies from 1931 to 1936.
