Silent Road is a good drama series, but it's all Greek to me.
Pembrokeshire Murders - now this is something else. Not a long series but an absorbing reinvestigation of a series of killings and sex crimes
But back to the Golden Years of Hollywood for something of it's best- Laura. Made in 1944 (how did they escape the draft) by 20th Century Fox, it's a classy piece of drama produced & directed by Otto Preminger (how did he escape the Nazis), who also made the very good The Man with a Golden Arm with Frank Sinatra, which was a taboo movie because of the drug addiction theme. Nothing taboo about Laura though, played by the scrumptious Gene Tierney, with Clifton Webb as a bad-mouthing writer and Dana Andrews as a detective. A fairly young Vincent Price had a good part too. The score is mostly lush variations on the theme song, which became a standard for singers and musicians. It's worth seeing also for the fashions of the time. Ridiculously high waisted pants on the men and extravagant designs for the women. A history lesson. My dvd package came with all sorts of extras which I haven't got around to looking at yet even though I've watched the main feature twice. Not just good for 80 years ago but for all time
