Glad you found them Country Boy. Don't forget Man In The Moon. That's a funny film. He's training to go into space, along with all these other guys who don't think he'll be any good, and hes sailing through all the tests and showing them up! :-D Miranda, Cash In Demand is a great film. It's not very long either, only about 1hr or just over. It's shown quite a lot on Sony Classics along with Strongroom. Also Gideon is great too. With a very young Andrew Ray as the policeman going out with his daughter. After watching this I watched the John Gregson TV Series Gideons Way. Another Andrew Ray film that's good is Serious Charge. It has Anthony Quayle as a priest who's accused of touching him but it's actually Ray who is being a troublemaker so he won't get in trouble with his Father for all the yobbish behaviour he's getting into. Cliff Richard is also in it. you just need to try and ignore some of the cool youth speak of the time!

Is it wrong of me to fancy Jack Hawkins? Lol, I don't think so, he has a great deep voice. And he's very in charge in The League Of Gentlemen. I never judge, because I wouldn't want anyone judging my tastes!lol 😶 I have to admit, all I'm doing at the moment is watching old films and old tv shows, circa 1950-1980 (approx), and there's a few fanciable men who are around my age...but my age for them 40+ years ago! James Fox in Performance is 30yrs old and bloomin' gorgeous, so is Anthony Valentine and also 30. Valentine isn't here anymore 😢 And Fox is 81 this year. Should I admit this, Ok, Donald Sinden was handsome. Personally I used to think of him as this older man in Never The Twain, but since watching older films which pre-date NTT by about 35yrs, I've realised he was very handsome back in the day. Later films they gave him a tache and had him as a womanizer, but before that he was given the good looking hero-ish type character. An Alligator Named Daisy, The Cruel Sea with Jack Hawkins (who sort of helped save his life, when in a water tank for a scene he got into difficulty and nearly drowned----also it's a great Hawkins film if you haven't seen it.), Above Us The Waves, Mad About Men...bit of trivia, Sinden got the part in Simba because of the film Mad About Men. The production for Simba had already filmed long shots of a blonde haired man in Africa but they couldn't find an available actor who was the right height to match the footage and was also blonde. The director meet Sinden in a bar, who had blonde hair for the Mad About Men film and was the right height and build...also Bogarde's part was supposed to be Jack Hawkins. Ok, I have to stop cause I could be here all night! ...Also Michael Craig😍 ...especially in Campbells Kingdom

Then I found this playlist with loads of old films:
I'll be working my way through this, skipping all the ones I don't like.
I'm doing the same myself. There's some good stuff though, Town On Trial with John Mills, This Sporting Life with Richard Harris...although it looks like it's written in Spanish or Portuguese, I don't know if it'll be in English. But, I also found a Laurence Harvey film I havent seen before, The Spy With A Cold Nose. I was going to watch Three Men In A Boat last night but didn't have time, so I might to a Harvey comedy double bill with this. So pleased. ☺ Off to keep looking.

I watched Town On Trial last night. It's pretty good. Although slightly daft in parts.

That is one hell of a list. I finally got through to the end, some films are on the list more than once, but its still a big list. There's a few John Mills films, Miranda. The Vicious Circle, Above Us The Waves, which are both good are on that list but The Long Memory and Tunes of Glory which I think is brilliant and has a really good cast with Dennis Price, Gordon Jackson and Alec Guinness joining John Mills are both really good. The first deals with revenge and TunesOG is set in the military but not active. It's hard to explain without giving away the ending.
There's at least 4 Basil Dearden films. Victim, my favourite Bogarde film (along with a couple of others!) It has an amazing scene with Bogarde and Sylvia Syms about 55mins in, I know it by heart Ive watched it so many times. They're both amazing. And the following scene with Anthony Nicholls, Dennis Price and Peter Copley, where it's discovered they're all being blackmailed too. The League Of Gentlemen with Jack Hawkins, Richard Attenborough and Nigel Patrick. Nigel Patrick, Earl Cameron and Michael Craig in Sapphire and The Violent Playground with Stanley Baker and David McCallan. All well worth a watch...ohh Woman Of Straw aswell with Sean Connery. That's a good film, if anyone likes Hitchcock you might like this as it feels like a Hitchcock type film.
Laurence Harvey in Life At The Top (Michael Craig) leads to The Running Man with Alan Bates (Lee Remick), he'll take you to Women In Love with Oliver Reed (Glenda Jackson) who'll take you to The Jokers with Michael Crawford for one of those later 60s brighly coloured films, good story though. That's Sunday sorted.
There's a few Bogarde films like Simba, Doctor At Sea and Penny Princess on that list but they aren't brilliant films. Cast A Dark Shadow is. It's a really gripping story and also stars Margret Lockwood and Kathleen Harrison steals a few scenes. I Could Go On Singing with Judy Garland. If you liked Judy you'll probably like this as it's pretty similar story. Judy plays Jenny who's given up her child to her former lover (who's brought him up as adopted) so she can travel as a singer on the verge of a breakdown! Hunted. An early film with a young Jon Whiteley. Bogarde is on the run and takes the boy as a witness. But the boys being abused as home and actually prefers being with Bogarde. Lovely film. I finally made my mom watch this and she liked it.
There's lots of Michael Craig films, I personally like Upstairs and Downstairs but it's never gonna win any awards. Cone of Silence, again I like the story of them trying to discover the cause of an air crash to clear the pilots name as it wasn't human error but a fault with the design. A Pair of Briefs, which is silly Sunday afternoon fun, but it's a fave of mine. "Very witty mi'Lord". But then theres more serious stuff like Sapphire, Life At The Top, Eyewitness.

One that I am annoyed at having been removed was The Cruel Sea which I had planned on watching. I am not really surprised, though, YouTube are making people pay to watch it either by renting or buying it.

That's a shame, when I looked at the list the other day it was there. Sometimes it's taken down and then it's reposted by someone else so keep an eye out for it.

While looking through another playlist I found this short with James Stewart who, at the time, was a lieutenant in the United States Army Airforce, recruiting men:
By the time he retired in 1968, he had become a brigadier general.

It's interesting to note that many films I first see on TPTV then end up on Sony Movies Classic/Action.
The latest is Cone Of Silence, starring Michael Craig, Peter Cushing and Bernard Lee.
9:10am this morning.

Is it wrong of me to fancy Jack Hawkins? I’ve got a massive crush on Humphrey Bogart.
