Sweeney! (1977)

Gritty and hard-hitting

[9/10 · 26 January 2024]

I loved the film series of The Sweeney, the first one in feature length featuring the lovely Diane Keen. It featured one the of more surreal memories of the 1970s.

In the film (watched on the big screen in the ATV cinema in Hammersmith) we watched as Thaw has alcohol forced down his throat and placed at his wheel of his car blind drink. He is now stopped by fake police and 'fake' arrested. This is all took place outside the ATV in Hammersmith, the very cinema we were sitting in watching in the film.

I do wonder how long these reviews need to be so you can fulfil the requirement for a longer review!

Reunion of Giants (2015 TV Movie)

Lovely nostalgia.

[9/10 · 3 January 2019]

Great film showing the reunion of a Canadian Lancaster with an RAF one at Coningsby. One criticism - that intrusive background music. Could have done without it.

80,000 Suspects (1963)

Bath

[20 March 2001]

Nice to see the city of Bath used for location filming, and in the one of the coldest winters the UK had seen in 1963! The snow was definitely authentic. The Abbey and Pump Rooms used to good effect but wasn't parking easier then?! Otherwise, a bit of a pot boiler with a stilted script and over dramatic storyline but Claire Bloom and Richard Johnson looked lovely and sexy in the snow.
