Hold Back Tomorrow (1955), a film noir about a man about to be hanged. He makes a last request - a woman for the night. He gets down-on-her-luck whore Dora (Cleo Moore). Cleo Moore is superb. Great movie. Somehow it got past the Hays Code.

Outside the Wall (1950) is a solid film noir. Richard Basehart is a man who's spent 15 years in prison and finds life on the outside scary. He has trouble with dames and a chance encounter from the past drags him into noir nightmare world.

Jacques Tourneur's Anne of the Indies (1951) is a pirate adventure movie about a lady pirate. She’s brave, sexy, daring and sympathetic apart from being a mass murderess. Surprisingly nuanced with a complex protagonist. Great stuff.

Had it not been for the Production Code I, the Jury (1953) would have been the best-ever Mickey Spillane film adaptation. It's still pretty good - Peggie Castle sizzles, John Alton’s cinematography is superb. See it.

The Mole People is a 1956 scifi B-movie. Archaeologists discover a lost city, still stuck in the Sumerian era, deep beneath the Earth. Naturally there's a pretty slave girl. Some decent effects, all very cheap but a good basic idea. Enjoyable.

André De Toth's Day of the Outlaw (1959), a fine intelligent complex 50s western. Starts as a typical "ranchers against farmers" story with a romantic triangle and becomes something quite different. Fine performance by Tina Louise.

Victor Mature, Jane Russell and Vincent Price star in the slightly noir-tinged 1952 crime/romance melodrama The Las Vegas Story (1952). Great use of the Vegas setting, three dazzling lead performances, lots of twisted romance. Very enjoyable.

Pickup Alley is a 1957 British crime thriller about a narcotics agent, directed by John Gilling. Victor Mature, Anita Ekberg and Trevor Howard are all excellent. Solidly plotted and well-crafted.
