Movies this week:
"Tiger Bay" 1959 8 of 10
I was looking for Hayley Mills flicks, specifically "The Trouble With Angels" from 1966, and which doesn't seem to be on DVD yet, and got this early gem. It's a b&w English film also starring her father John, which interested Walt Disney in her prowess before casting her in "Pollyanna". My Hayley search also netted me "The Moon Spinners" which I hadn't seen since it aired on The Wonderful World of Disney when I was a child. I had never seen "Tiger Bay" until renting it at Netflix Hayley is Gillie, a 10 year old tomboy who witnesses a murder in her low class English housing tract, and later befriends the murderer, played by Horst Bucholtz. Although full screen, meaning I couldn't watch it on the HDTV, it is still mesmerizing and filled with suspense. There are a lot of old b&w English films which not many people have seen, and I recommend this one highly.
