"Brisk, no-nonsense British war movie , tersely directed by Michael McCarthy (whose background was in documentary). Tony Britton leads a mission to Amsterdam in the summer of 1940 (the eve of the Nazi invasion) to prevent a valuable stash of industrial diamonds falling into enemy hands. Time is short - the Germans are only hours from town - but Britton and his crew make sure they get the job done. The one real casualty here is characterisation - there's such an onus on keeping the narrative moving that we get precious little chance to learn what makes the heroes tick. Adapted by the director and John Eldridge from the book Adventure in Diamonds by David E Walker." Time Out

(2013)

Hyacinth plans a super-special event, desperate to keep up with the Barker-Finches who have had a local celebrity at their barbecue. However, despite a faultless strategy, events do not turn out quite as she planned.

Hyacinth surprises Richard with a pair of skis for a birthday present, a gift that he's not particularly thrilled about, but that ends up being only the start of a series of problems.

When Barbie convinces join that she should become more alluring to eddie, the plan backfires leading to a misunderstanding between eddie and bill and a drunken showdown in the street .

Mrs. Railton, who happens to be blind and deaf, somehow manages to run a private club, as well as acting as a fence for baddie Clem Hayes and his gang of misfits. After one of the gang gets caught during a heist, Mrs. Railton tells Clem that they'll need to cool it for a while.
But Clem has different ideas, and reveals details relating to a diamond consignment worth £250,000 that is coming over from Amsterdam.
He reveals where the diamonds are being stored, and has floor plans of the building, so the gang can be in and out with no problems.
The heist goes ahead, and everything runs smoothly, except..., a night watchman ends up dead. Panic sets in amongst Railton, Hayes and the gang, as the thought of facing murder charges sends everyone into panic mode, and the saying, "Honour Amongst Thieves" goes out the window.
Far fetched basis regarding Mrs. Railton's character, but fairly entertaining crime thriller, with a very early role for Sean Connery.
