I have been reviewing films all my life, semi-professionally in the past and for the past 10 or 12 years on imdb and more recently in letterboxd and facebook. The idea of this blog is to get as many of those reviews gathered together in one place. I have had a great deal of support and encouragement from a lot of people throughout the world and I hope that continues. Now for the ratings. **** = not to be missed. *** = highly recommended. ** = recommended. * = of interest and no stars = avoid..

THE NAKED TRUTH **
A genuinely funny British farce dealing with blackmail and murder and
splendidly played by a great cast of British comic actors,
(Terry-Thomas, Peter Sellers, Peggy Mount, Joan Sims and Dennis Price).
Price is the blackmailer and Sellers, Terry-Thomas and Mount, together
with model Shirley Eaton, (long before someone thought of painting her
gold), are his victims who plan to murder him but, as with any good
farce, things don't go quite according to plan. The underrated Mario
Zampi directed from an original and highly ingenious script by Michael
Pertwee. Perhaps you need a very British sense of humour to really
appreciate this but if you are blessed with such a thing, it's a
real treat.
