Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism

This week...more from the great Hammer studios as we continue our Hammer horror retrospective

The Phantom of the Opera (1962)

Composer Lord Ambrose D'Arcy (Michael Gough) and his backer, Harry Hunter (Edward De Souza), struggle to find a replacement for the female lead in their new opera after she quits in the wake of a gruesome murder. When a new prospect, the nubile Christine Charles (Heather Sears), disappears, Harry cautiously investigates. Meanwhile, a mysterious masked man (Herbert Lom) who is eerily familiar with the opera holds Christine captive and offers to groom her to play the part.

"I caught a couple o' beauties tonight. Fat. Like young puppies they are."

The Nanny (1965)

A nanny (Bette Davis) is hired to look after a ten-year-old who has just returned from a mental institution. The boy's mother has just been poisoned and he believes the nanny is to blame. When his aunt arrives and hears the boy's accusations she sides with the nanny, claiming the boy is making it all up.

"That's what I'm here for, to look after all of you."

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism.

Back to 1955 this week and a classic starring Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall

The Constant Husband (1955)

Charles Hathaway (Sir Rex Harrison) wakes up in West Wales with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. With the help of a Cardiff specialist, he traces his life back to his gorgeous wife and their large London house, so all seems well with the world. But more detective work starts to uncover an alarming chain of further stunning wives and a way of going on that the new Charles finds pretty unacceptable.

"Let me put the issue simply before you. The question really is whether you now say you now believe you were, when you committed these crimes, the man you were before you became the man you say you are now. Is that quite clear?"
