OhtheDeadwoodStageiscomin'upoverthehill (fortissimo). Doris, bless her, belts her heart out as the pistol-packin' tomboy who has to clean up her act when she falls for Wild Bill Hickock. Much spunkier than 'Annie Get Your Gun' and with better tunes, most notably 'Secret Love'. A fine musical comedy.

Everything about "Charade" sets off what Hepburn and Grant did best, romantic thrillers with some great one liners (watch out for his to her on the boat) and is swept along by Mancini's wonderful score and chic Parisian settings.

This semi-autobiographical film, the fourth instalment in the saga of Antoine Doinel, concentrates on his early married life during which time he becomes a writer, a father and a philanderer. A humourous and ironic account of a failing middle-class marriage, a subject that Truffaut obviously knew rather well.

Grant is in uncharacteristic mode as a skiving, drunken bum seeing out WW2 on a South Sea island. Bribed into coast watching for the Aussie Navy, he takes to his task quite happily until the arrival of a shapely French schoolteacher and her seven small charges. A light-hearted saccharine romance.

The classic science-fiction film that brought us Robbie The Robot. When a space cruiser is sent to investigate the silence from a planet inhabited by scientists, the crew find all but two of the inhabitants, Professor Morbius and his bewitchingly innocent daughter, have died. Morbius has made a discovery and he has no intention of sharing it (or his daughter!) with anyone. Classy kitsch.
