Good morning everyone

Forecast to be a very showery day here, possibly thundery.

I hope everyone has a good day

Slim, little new of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week. Tomorrow at 17.20 is a 1950 film called "Her Favourite Husband". Sort of a crime comedy set in Italy with some of the British actors attempting to sound Italian,  A British/Italian co-production. The reviews on imdb are mixed with some thinking it's dreadful, and some thinking it's good. Margaret Rutherford is in the cast as an English woman. The music was composed by Nino Rota, one of the major Italian film composers. He also composed the music for some American films, notably the Godfather films.

Good morning Buddies

Overcast here but with occasional sunny bursts. We also have a yellow warning for thunderstorms for later on.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone

Rain stopped some time ago here, Moonie, though Met Office forecast cloudy for the rest of the day rather than sunny intervals

It’s lovely to see those beavers. Well done the Ealing Project. I love the way they build dams. So clever

By the way. the sentence I used for my post above is a nod to Ealing film studios as it's got 3 of their film titles in. None of their best known ones though and not comedies.

I thought your post seemed a little cryptic

"Pool of London" is a 1950 British film noir.
"Where no Vultures Fly" is a 1951 film about the efforts of a game warden in Kenya trying to set up a national park for animals but is up against ivory poachers etc.
"Lease of Life" is a 1954 drama about a vicar (Robert Donat) who discovers he has a terminal illness. So not a cheerful film
I may have seen the last film many years ago, haven't seen the other two, and I doubt if you would find any of them enjoyable, Slim,

Thanks for the non-recommendation El

They don't sound like the usual Ealing films I would like

Not too disimilar are they..

I suppose in an emergency one wouldn't hesitate, but in the cold light of day ... I'd want at least two hooks... just incase one fails
