Final Appointment (1954)

British b&w comedy/crime thriller, starring 50s B-movie heartthrob John Bentley, with Eleanor Summerfield, Liam Redmond, and wonderful character actor Sam Kydd. The plot revolves around threats made to the life of a former army officer who was prosecutor for a man's court martial during WWII. Police discover that the threats are linked to several other killings.

It does a nice job of balancing pretty grisly events with some screwball-type comedy centred around Bentley and Summerfield's characters' romantic relationship. Directed by Terence Fisher, who would go on to be a mainstay for Hammer Films (where his work included the four early Lee/Cushing features, Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula, Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Mummy). 7/10
 
3000 Years of longing.
Beautifully shot and very charming. but the third act doesn't quite land.
 
Angélique films series (not first watch, saw them each time they were on TV when I was young and own the DVD).
Note: there is a young Christopher Plummer look alike in the last one, it's uncanny.
