Rating 7.5/10
Runtime: 117 min
Language: English
Country: USA
Directed by: Jack Clayton
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053226/

Cast

Laurence Harvey ... Joe Lampton
Simone Signoret ... Alice Aisgill
Heather Sears ... Susan Brown
Donald Wolfit ... Mr. Brown

Allan Cuthbertson ... George Aisgill
Raymond Huntley ... Mr. Hoylake

Description: 1947. Twenty-five year old Joe Lampton has just moved to the small town of Warnley to start working in the Treasury Department of the Town Hall. The only difference between his life in Warnley and his hometown of Dufdon, a largely war-bombed factory town, is that he proverbially will have no grease under his fingernails, the Warnley job which will only get him so far. Although he strives to a better station in life, Joe detests those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths, such people who generally believe they are better than him. Joe is up front to Charles Soames, his colleague and who becomes his best friend in Warnley, that he evaluates girls first by their accessories, the more expensive the better, and second by their looks, he searching for someone he considers "wholesome", arguably for him akin to naive in not realizing that he is using her to advance his social and financial position. Through the Thespians, the community theater group that Charles invites him into, Joe, despite Charles' warning against doing so, sets his sights on Susan Brown, the daughter of arguably the wealthiest and most powerful man in town, an industrialist who also is on town council. Susan's parents would never see someone like Joe as son-in-law material. Susan's boyfriend, Jack Wales, is exactly the type of person from that privileged class that Joe so detests. However, Joe ends up befriending Alice Aisgill, a slightly older Parisienne in an unhappy marriage in that her husband, George, is a chronic philanderer. While Alice starts out being his confidante in she knowing about his pursuit of Susan, they end up embarking on an affair as they fall in love with each other. Thus, Joe ends up in a no-win situation with both Alice and Susan that is destined to end in tragedy for all concerned...

Rating 8.1/10
Runtime: 163 min

Country: United Kingdom
Directed by: Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger
IMDb Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036112/

Deborah Kerr ... Edith Hunter
Anton Walbrook ... Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff
James McKechnie ... Spud Wilson
Neville Mapp ... Stuffy Graves
Vincent Holman ... Club Porter (1942)
David Hutcheson ... Hoppy

Description: The setting is 1943 Britain. Major General Clive Wynne-Candy, a forty year military officer, is seen by some of his younger eager officers as an old, soft, pudgy man with a ridiculous mustache, he who has outdated ideas of what is required to win the war. But they have no idea of his background and military history, which shaped his outlook and the man he is today, including why he wears a mustache. This history includes a diplomatic row in Berlin over the German view of the British military in the Boer War, his time in the front lines in France during WWI and what he believes was the reason for the end of that war, and his need to reinvent himself over the course of WWII. He is also shaped by his friendship with four specific people, one being Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff, a German officer with whom he had an inauspicious inaugural meeting in 1902. The other three are the significant women of his life: Berlin based English schoolteacher Edith Hunter, Red Cross nurse Barbara Wynne, and Angela "Johnny" Cannon, his personal driver during WWII.
