Oh, I adore Bacall! She's never done one pic that I've hated. She just had such a chemistry with the camera. They don't often apply the word 'charisma' to actresses, but she had it.

Run For Your Money sounds good.

Oy, some LOtW discs are more like VCD's. I didn't quite get the storyline either. I like the sidekick character and you definitely watch it for the fights, not the silly female character or the great storyline.

I like Lizabeth Scott, always did.  But she was definitely not the same star level as Bacal.  As for Bacal, I never forget she's acting when she's acting.  She was never intuitive.  

OMG NB. The copy of The Legend of the Wolf was so bad, it was unwatchable.  I can't stick out a movie with imbedded subtitles that flash by like a subliminal advertisement.  I'll stick it back in tonight to watch the fight.  So far, it's a totally dumb premise but it could be the interpretation.  

I watched an Ealing Studios romp from 1949 called A Run For Your Money.  It was cute, really cute.  A funny "road" picture, fish out of water Welsh Miners win a trip to London with all the predictable results.  One of my favorite movies, which I watch when I need a boost, is "The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain."  Not everyone's cup of tea.  But I see now that the beginning totally  ripped off "A Run for your money" for sure.  And some of the jokes too.

Killer Bait had an interesting premise, but Lizabeth Scott just didn't do it for me. She was like a poor man's Lauren Bacall. I kept wondering what someone like Barbra Stanwyck would have done with the part, then went off and watched Double Indemnity again. :)

Zulu seemed too long. The drawn out tribal dance scenes made me FF.
Otherwise it was your typical guys holding the fort(mission) against impossible odds and all the characters that go with it.

Of the two I'd pick Killer Bait though.

'Cloak and Dagger' was an enteraining enough film. The usual spys and nazi's and kidnapped professors. I think they forgot though that GC was supposed to be a physics professor, because he suddenly was not rattled at having to fight and kill, or be in a shoot out. But it was a good enough Friday night movie.

Haha, a Yennie got you. Well, it's a good choice anyway. Expect undercranking, but enjoy the loooooong next to the last fight scene with claw hand man. And Donnie running like the Roadrunner. Kai likes that bit.

Ooh, I'm glad Killer Bait is good.

I love Gary Cooper. Can't imagine him as a retired physics prof, 'Meet John Doe' is my fav film of his, but I'll give him a chance.

I saw Killer Bait - it was good.  If a chunk  of money was dumped into your lap, what would you do?  That could be the tag line.  

Never saw the other two.

I've got 4 in the mail:
Legend of the Wolf - some Donnie Yen fan must've recommended this one.
Operation Scorpio - I have no idea how this ended up on my list
Brute Force - Burt Lancaster prison drama - Jules Dassin directs
Early Spring - working my way through the Ozu catalogue - not everyone's taste but I love him.
