This movie started out really fun. Two star reporters trying to top each other. I really liked the opening scene, where SRK got into the building which has been evacuated because of a bomb thread and is interviewing the guy from the bomb squad. It also had some fun songs to watch.
But about halfway through it gets too serious, and it takes itself too serious. And it gets ridiculously patriotic. It is still watchable, but nothing like the fun first part.

A Lawless Street, a review by Rogmeister

A Lawless Street  (1956) 77 minutes
Cast: Randolph Scott, Angela Lansbury, Warner Anderson, Jean Parker, Wallace Ford
Director: Joseph H. Lewis
Music: Paul Sawtell

Yes, it's time for yet another Randolph Scott western! In this one, he is a lawman who moves from town to town in the Colorado territory, ridding them of outlaws. He is married to a lovely singer (Lansbury) but she leaves him and won't return as long as he is involved in this dangerous duty but he has one last town he wants to clean up. This was a good western with some dynamite stuntwork (especially in one big fight scene between Scott and a large extremely strong foe) and is quickly paced. The DVD has a good quality print but no real extras...apart for some trailers of other westerns.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

Chicago Holiday - Part 1

This is a fun episode... I did enjoy it. Though I seen the teenage daughter of ambassador (or some VIP) running off to party on more then one show before. So that kinda took away from it a little for me. But the whole list on the match cover thing added to the storyline. The teenage girl seems to look familiar to me... but I couldn't place her. When I went to IMDB I find out she was on a single episode of Friday the 13th: The Series that I watched not too long ago. Other then that I didn't see anything I would recognize her from. So it must have been that.

My Rating:
