I'm sure I've seen that film El ...it must have been shown again on tv later than 1956
Definitely haven't seen the second film...think I'd remember that one

I'm reasonably certain that "Yield to the Night" has been shown on television, Slim, There is also "Dance with a Stranger" (1985) which was partially financed by Film Four so has been shown a few times over the years.

Back in the days I was at senior school, the school had I think 4 houses (not that it was a boarding school). The house I was in was the winning house at the end of my first year, So there was a party for my house. A film was shown and that was "An Alligator Named Daisy", a harmless film but nothing more than watchable

3rd day of the 4 day cricket match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan.
Gloucestershire were all out for 179 runs in their first innings.
Glamorgan were all out for 197 runs in their first innings so an 18 run lead.
What make this match unusual is that Gloucestershire' second innings has just finished with a declaration of  610 runs for 5 so quite a change from the first innings,

I hadn't spotted that the match was not at Gloucestershire's main ground but at Cheltenham College. Matches are played there every year for about 2 weeks, mainly of the short format.

Update on that cricket match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan. Glamorgan got to 592 with one ball left of the match to go so had drawn level.. If the last ball got 0 runs, then the match would be a draw as neither side had won. If one or more runs were scored then Glamorgan would win.
But Glamorgan only had one wicket left, and Gloucestershire got that wicket with the final ball.
So the result was a tie, which is rare in 4 day cricket.

Weather forecast for Wimbledon is very poor. Might be a very short period where play is possible today, fractionally better for Saturday though lots of showers, similarly for Sunday, Monday better until the evening, Tuesday as bad as today, Wednesday lots of showers, better from Thursday though some showers on Friday. Centre Court and No. 1 Court will have play as those will be covered,
