The timings of yesterday's match totally threw me off, ended up watching Mrs Harris went to Paris last night. Not normally the sort of thing I'd watch on a Saturday, but Kev had a flight delayed so went off for a few hours kip. Enjoyed the film, quite light and fluffy and a very easy watch.

Roadgames (1981) - film about a truck driver on a journey across the Australian Outback, meanwhile a serial killer is on the loose.

I quite enjoyed it, not to mention it starred the lovely Jamie Lee Curtis

Bit of opportunism by the French to top bill Connery when he only has a small role as a stammering criminal. Billed eighth below Alfie Bass! American import Skip Homeier was the lead, later memorable in a couple of those classic Randolph Scott westerns directed by Budd Boetticher.

Blues Exile: Do you think by adding Americans to British B movies the directors did it to toughen the films up?

I think the reason was to be able to sell the films in the States, for example there was a tie up between Exclusive (later better known as Hammer) Films and the independent American producer and owner of a chain of cinemas, Robert Lippert. This resulted in a lot of faded or never quite made it names like George Brent, Alex Nicol, John Ireland, Lloyd Bridges, Barbara Payton etc being brought in as headliners for the US market. There is an excellent book titled 'The British B film' by Steve Chibnall and Brian McFarlane which I have found indispensable.
