After being framed, a cowboy is sent to jail. After his time is served, he leaves with vengeance in his heart. Soon he meets a young Native American woman and together they go to settle their score with a small town and its corrupt leader. AKA Gone With The West. One of the messiest, most incompetent comedy westerns I've ever seen. I thought it might have been decent with James Caan, Sammy Davis Jnr and Stefanie Powers in the cast but it is just dross. The so-called comedy just isn't funny unless you're into crappy slapstick scenes. I'd go further and say that the 2 main leads are like live-action versions of Warner Bros cartoon characters. The movie even periodically cuts to a person in a town crooning an old spiritual number. The story is virtually incoherent. Absolute shit!

When Sally moves to London to pursue a modelling career, she moves in with Angela and Dee and discovers the world of the carefree bachelor girl in swinging 60's London. There isn't that much of a big storyline in this great little movie - it just follows the lives and loves of a couple of young women who are renting flats in the same building. The cast is mostly the big interest with Ian McShane as a beatnik photographer, Klaus Kinski as a landlord/mobster who gets beaten up right near the end and Mark Eden as a down on his luck man who is pawning stuff off from his girlfriend in order to raise some cash to pay off debts. Anneke Wills is perfectly cast as the flighty blonde girl-about-town, and would soon be signed up by the producers of Doctor Who to essentially fulfill the same role. Nice location shooting in London. This isn't a masterpiece by any stretch but it is an interesting and fairly entertaining look at how previously traditional relationships and roles between men and women were changing in the sixties. Worth a look.

 Goliath Against the Giants 5/10

Goliath fights sea monsters and Amazon warriors when he tries to stop a mad king who is throwing those that are rising against him into a valley of giants. A fair to middling Italian sword and sandals movie. The movie does tend to lag in the middle section but you can see Brad Harris as the muscleman Goliath who is kept busy throughout the story as he has to fight crowds of soldiers as well as various beasties including a sea serpent, a lion, a strange ape-like creature, a dragon, and several big chunky giants. Harris is good as Goliath as he has a ruggedness that gives him an almost comic book appearance. This movie is rather silly but there is enough energy and action scenes to make up for the many shortcomings in the story. If it's a simple popcorn movie with a lot of thrills and monsters you want then this will be right up your street.

Deborah and Charles, young executives at the thriving Pontifex Advertising Agency, are very much in love. But there is one hard-and-fast rule at the agency: the board of directors will not allow any married women on their staff; as soon as a girl marries, she must resign! This is supposed to be a comedy movie about working life in an advertising agency before the dawn of women's lib. The story is hardly incisive and it's certainly not hilarious. Quite frankly it's rather dull and as it was director Maurice Elvey's final movie he went out with a whimper and not a bang. Adrienne Corri and Thorley Walters as the leads are OK in their roles. It's possible that had there been more humour, the movie could have been better. In the end, I thought it was a waste of time and wouldn't recommend it.

 Seventy Deadly Pills 7/10

A small boy, Dickie Goodwin, finds some strychnine pills mixed with sweets in a stolen car left in a deserted garage. With them he buys his way into the Rocket Gang. Brian, the leader, shares out the pills for swaps next day. One of the gang eats hers and collapses. The police frantically search for the pills and a broadcast appeal is made. A great CFF movie showing a snapshot of a bygone era when derelict buildings were the playgrounds of small children, and when mothers would happily leave their pre-teen child with an instruction that there was something in the oven for tea. The story motors along at a decent pace with the climax taking place at the now gone Battersea Fun Fair which will bring back memories for Londoners of a certain age. The moral of the story is never take and eat any sweets unless they're from a shop. Some familiar faces in the movie include Warren Mitchell, Leslie Dwyer and the breakout star in a young Sally Thomsett. On the whole, it's an enjoyable family adventure.
