I've never been a fan of the so called comedies. I think he directed VICTIM as well, which was a brilliant film.Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-69227297674566657782010-05-14T04:36:26.652+01:002010-05-14T04:36:26.652+01:00Basil Dearden was a fine director.

I'm glad you mentioned <em>Sapphire</em> - it's a very underrated little movie.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-81460399008459270462010-05-13T21:06:22.246+01:002010-05-13T21:06:22.246+01:00Thanks for the comment Billy! - Yeah its a bit of ...Thanks for the comment Billy! - Yeah its a bit of an underwhelming episode, but it does have a very strong premise which I guess was strong enough for Relph and Dearden. This is well worth a look, but the whole film hinges on Roger Moore, so I guess enjoyment will very much depend upon whether you like Roger or not.Shaun Anderson [The Celluloid Highway]https://www.blogger.com/profile/18066744649878418309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751360814489146754.post-37052420938910877572010-05-13T20:40:04.728+01:002010-05-13T20:40:04.728+01:00Very interesting write-up -- I've seen the Hit...Very interesting write-up -- I've seen the Hitchcock episode before, and had no clue it had also served as the basis for a full-length motion pic. There were actually several episodes of that show that I felt could have been made into complete moves, though "Pelham" was never one that struck me that way.<br />Anyway...sounds cool...I'll look for it!<br />-BillyTower Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117151684983587816noreply@blogger.com
