  Thud.
  
  It looked good on paper. The reality was an overlong, shrill and rather desperate farce that failed to raise a single laugh.
  
  Nice to see some ... read more »

  Risky Business
  
  This film is a real gem. Some great lines that must have been quite risqué at the time. Loved it when TT asks Hattie how Billie walks that way!
