Written and hosted by Matthew Sweet and ranging from the quota quickies of the 30s to the exploitation flicks of the 70s. In between we visit wartime comedies, the 50s youth market, and Hammer in the 60s. There are oddball one-offs like 1952's Private Information, in which none other than Jill Esmond (Mrs. Olivier #1) plays a woman who crusades against the leaky sewer pipes in her council house.
It runs 89 minutes and is loaded with clips, many from films I've never heard of. Sweet welcomes several veterans from the B movie era, and these are my favorite bits. He chats with Patricia Laffan as they watch her film Devil Girl from Mars (1954). Nicky Henson giggles as he watches himself in Psychomania (1973) riding a motorcycle through a wall and confronting some kind of giant demon frog.
It's lots of fun if you like these old films, and I do.
