    Shop at Sly Corner

    A charming post war drama exploring tangled family loyalties and the machinations of a disgruntled employee leading to unforeseen consequences. A good hour and a half exploring a literal world which has changed but which is identical in terms of human emotion and motivation. Described as a thriller by some but whilst very entertaining won't have you gripping the sofa in sheer terror. Try it if you like a bit of yesteryear!

    crime thriller melodrama

    A reasonably enjoyable film, an antiques dealer with a shift side has an even shiftier assisstant who starts to blackmail him. There are sevreal clues to how the film will end but its an anjoyable journey and has some peppery dialogue along the way.
