Man at the Carlton Tower [1961]. Director: Robert Tronson
6/10
Enjoyably daft plotted Edgar Wallace mystery packed full of familiar faces (Alan Cuthbertson, Terence Alexander, Alfred Burke, Nigel Green). Hard not to smirk every time Sergeant Pepper of the Yard turns up.
The Aviator - Not sure if I bought DiCaprio as a young Howard Hughes, this was a time when he was still struggling to shake off his baby faced Titanic image. Weirdly I found him more convincing as the older, reclusive Hughes. Cate Blanchett was really good too.
A U.S. census bureau employee visits an isolated town to learn why it has a fixed number of population for decades.
Packaged as horror, it's a surprisingly entertaining dose of modern gothic mystery/drama, even though it offers a daft premise, clichés, wooden performances and all. Worth seeing if you fancy a Sunday-afternoon B-movie in the vein of Tales of the Unexpected or Twilight Zone.

I was essentially dragged kicking and screaming to this but really enjoyed it!!

It is, Gemma. It stars a young Juliette Binoche.
