Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965)
Not 'Arf!
Now where can a discerning viewer find a film in which Donald Sutherland is billed below Roy Castle, Alan Freeman and Kenny Lynch? Why, in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors no less!
So, see Neil McCallum do battle with the fiendish dog of death! Wince as Christopher Lee meets the world's most tactless ambulance driver! Marvel at Mr Sutherland as he does battle with a plastic bat on a (very) visible wire! Quake as Alan 'Fluff' Freeman works his catchphrase into the dialogue!
Still a lot more fun than any amount of British 'Lock, Stock...' tributes/rip-offs.
The Hi-Jackers (1963)
Better than the Average B
Yet another late night treat from ITV. Rather above the British second feature norm (no difficult task), it boasts a likeable lead performance from Anthony (father-in-law of Tony Blair) Booth, genuine location footage and a witty villain. Even Vauxhall police-cars make a change from the usual Wolseleys.
I wonder if the PM screens this epic at Downing Street functions?
