1.The Cruel Sea [1953] starring: Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden, John Stratton, Denholm Elliott, John Warner directed by: Charles Frend June 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.50
I just watched this film for the third time. It is a quiet masterpiece, the kind of restrained, understated, emotional film that someone like Michael Bay or Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't make to save their lives. Telling the story of ordinary men, and a few women, struggling to get through World War II without becoming monsters or going crazy, it is gripping, compelling, at times very frightening and full of understated pathos. For me, it is definitely a three-hanky movie, particularly the scenes where men are dying in the water, drifting away into the blackness, thinking their last thoughts. What comes across most keenly is perhaps the constant, urgent need to suppress grief, and the sense of a whole generation who ... Read More:

2.San Demetrio, London [1943] starring: Arthur Young, Walter Fitzgerald, Ralph Michael, Neville Mapp, Barry Letts directed by: Charles Frend, Robert Hamer September 17, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.99
San Demetrio London, was a world war Two sea story that I first read about in my teens and then I saw the film at a school cinema club and found it even more interesting. It's the true story of a remarkable incident in the Battle of The Atlantic, when a blazing, abandomed tanker is re-boarded by 15 of her crew, and then follows their heroic efforts which end in them bringing her back to port. This is one film worth watching again and again. I was extremely pleased to find it on Amazon. But sadly only currently on video. It is one film I sincerely hope will make to DVD, for it deserves a wider audience! definitely worth 5 stars in my estimate.

3.The Foreman Went To France [1942] starring: Tommy Trinder, Constance Cummings, Clifford Evans, Robert Morley, Gordon Jackson directed by: Charles Frend January 21, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.99
In 1940 deep in France, three special purpose machines sent from Britain to turn out guns for fighter planes sit in an abandoned factory right in the path of the advancing Germans. In London, one of the foreman from the British factory that produced the machines is determined to get them back to Britain. The Germans are just as determined to locate the machines. Fred Carrick (Clifford Evans), who can't speak French and has never travelled outside England, bulls his way through red tape and the optimism of his superiors that the French would never allow the machines to be captured. He winds up on a French train heading toward the town where the machines are located. When he gets there, he discovers an American young woman, Anne Stafford (Constance ... Read More:

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.90
A lovely gentle film, but if nothing else, buy it to see how the great city of Liverpool looked in the early 1950s. I was mesmerised! Highly recommended.

The company selling this product should be expelled from Amazon. I have never watched a worse quality dvd in my life, and of a film I have seen many times of television and enjoyed. Avoid all business with these cowboys.

6.The Long Arm [1956] starring: Jack Hawkins, John Stratton, Dorothy Alison, Michael Brooke, Sam Kydd directed by: Charles Frend January 20, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.70
Made at a time when Scotland Yard could have a simply frightful time catching a smash and grab raider, apart from anything else; when the old hands can remember criminals whole families and what prisons they are/were in; when an anonymous caller gives a tip off and all Scotland Yard swings immediately and earnestly into action; when crimes were recorded on index cards and a whole army of men employed to manually cross check everything; when department store sales clerks spoke with an Oxbridge accent; when everybody smoked; when kids thought it was wizard to have lemonade (with straws) at birthday parties; when your wife worried about you; and when you called your quarry 'chummy'... This is so cheesy by modern standards that it's almost a self-parody ... Read More:
