HOT MONEY GIRL (1959) Eddie Constantine, Christopher Lee, Dawn Addams, Marius Goring, Nadine Tallier. This is a slick, entertaining intrigue movie. Constantine, Addams, and Goring hatch a plot to recover a parcel of priceless jewels from behind the iron curtain. Their quest takes them to an old convent that’s now a police barracks. Lots of tense moments as they break through security lines in search of the jewels. Unfortunately, there’s a traitor in their midst. Lee shines as a slimy villain. From 16mm.
THE UNSTOPPABLE MAN (1960) Cameron Mitchell, Marious Goring, Harry Corbett, Lois Maxwell. An underrated British thriller. Mitchell is a tycoon whose son is kidnapped. There’s a huge ransom demand and the cops tell Mitchell to let them handle it. Mitchell has other ideas, though, and takes matters into his own hands. There’s a bit of science fiction at the film’s cool climax as Mitchell defends himself from the bad guys with a futuristic, hand-held flame projector. Not bad. From 35mm.
