4/10
Not bad

Just watched Man Bait from 1952. This was from Hammer studios before Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. It was directed by Terence Fisher who directed various Hammer horrors. The screenplay is by Frederick Knott who wrote Dial M for Murder. Based on a story by James Hadley Chase.

Diana Dors (Diana Fluck from Swindon) is "introduced" but it was her 16th film.

Interesting to see that the music is by Frank Spencer. Some mothers.

A viewing of Raymond Huntley before he had a moustache.

Eleanor Summerfield as a young woman.

I had thought of George Brent as a fairly boring American but he was an Irishman. He was born in Galway but moved to New York and spent some time in South Africa looking for gold. He returned to Ireland to study at the University of Dublin. By 1921, he had become a despatch courier for Michael Collins. He was hunted by the Black and Tans with a bounty on his head. He had a tumultuous affair with Bette Davis.
