Up the Junction
Ken Loach production for The Wednesday Play.
The Fool Killer
This singularly off-beat and original period mystery thriller drama curio set in the late 1800's plays like an arrestingly bizarre and inspired cross between "Tom Sawyer" and "Night of the Hunter." Lonely, miserable orphan boy George (a then 12-years-old Edward Albert in his excellent film debut) runs away from his stern, sadistic, abusive foster parents.
Four in the Morning
Mid sixties British 'slice of life' with Judi Dench
Wild Seed
A 17-year-old girl runs away from her east coast home, going west to Los Angeles to meet her biological father. She has learned from letters her mother kept that he was tragically separated from her before the girl's birth. On the road, she is protected and befriended by an independent-minded young drifter who helps her on her journey.
Masquerade
The British send an American and a war hero to kidnap and hide an oil-country prince.
The Battle of the Villa Fiorita

The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders
A bawdy story of how a poor damsel surrenders her virtue again and again to get to the top of society.
The End of Arthur's Marriage
In this off-beat musical – a satire that combines fantasy, social observation and songs – a working class man goes to put a deposit on a new house only to find he prefers spending to saving and is happy to spend his money on a few hours of happiness rather than a lifetime's conventionality.
The Crooked Road
An investigative reporter (Robert Ryan) travels to a small European country with the hope of exposing its dictator's family secrets.
