Here we go, here we go … these were the three left from about twelve offerings from YT, after going through a process, sampling etc.

They were all IMDb rated around 7, next step was reading the reviews, of which I’ve screenshot some and I’ll run the screenshots of today’s first … Shakedown:

All right … how important is casting? To my mind, first thing is the picture quality, sound, clarity. Second is a good script … something which lifts it above the ordinary.

And then comes the cast. As mentioned before, there are actors and actresses we would watch because it’s them … then those we’d not have a bar of.

But it’s more than that … it’s good casting or miscasting. In The Man Inside, the lead is wrong, Ms Ekberg all mammaries … in Pitfall, the men are good actors but the problem is they’re meant to swoon over the femme fatale. As you’ll read in comments, Lizabeth Scott just doesn’t have what it takes … not in that role anyway … not in the eyes of men.

Peggy Dow (1928, still alive at 97) does though, in this film, but she falls for the creep too easily … in RL, she’d have been a drawcard. Anyway, hope you can enjoy:
