Thanks delon for returning!  I'm old enough to remember the real Eddie, The movie hits the right tone to make it entertaining, but misses the edge to make it memorable.  Liam Neeson in an action movie, one knows what's in store. Thrilling enought for a lazy Sunday evening, and Julianna Morre was a good counter part, to keep guessing going  Trying something out of the box, a Thai-Hong Kong horror fantasy. To my surprise I was entertained. The premise is that whatever you write, and throw in a wastebasket, a letter a book or whatever, it has been created and lives in a wasteland among many other broken ideas.  The last of the old Bond's, done in the old style. Lee is a great villain, he likes money, and has no clue about technology of solar power, and doesn't care. Ekland must be one of the most annoying Bond Brides ever! Generally it feels a bit tired when seeing it again.  With stars like Jean Gabin, Gert Fröbe and George Raft, this French gangster movie should have been so much better. Cool soundtrack tough Fröbe puts in a good performace, while Gabin and Raft is on routine spare, for next movie maybe..  Hitchcock's ride on the dark side, Henry Fonda is the right one for this, innocence is not always an advantage, it can break people down even if it's pure  It's in public domain so it's not that difficullt to find, the copy I watched was very crisp and sharp, The thing I like most is Edward G. Robinson's underplaying, and how Ihe figueres things out, with pipe and all, reminded me of 1970s TV Colombo, he knew the villain from the start, he just have to figure out how it was done. Well that was my week!
