Serious Charge (Dir. Terence Young, 1959): A local troublemaker is accused by the resident priest of being responsible for the death of a young girl. In order to get revenge he accuses the priest of making homosexual advances towards him...
Based on a play by Philip King.
Express Bongo (Dir. Val Guest, 1960): A sly, sleazy and unscrupulous music agent, Johnny Jackson (Laurence Harvey) trolls the neon-streaked sidewalks of London's SoHo district in search of fresh meat to exploit. He finds it in a teen-packed coffee bar where a pompadoured rebel (pop star Cliff Richard) is dazzling his peers with his pouty, Presleyish voice and a talent for pounding the skins. Johnny renames the kid "Bongo" Herbert and, with the help of his stripper girlfriend (Sylvia Syms), guides the potential teen idol along the rocky path of fame.
Beneath its deceptively kitschy surface, Val Guest's Expresso Bongo is a potently clever film whose savvy critique of the corruptive values of show biz are reminiscent of that other hardboiled classic, Sweet Smell Of Success. With a screenplay by Wolf Mankowitz and syncopated style to burn Expresso Bongo sizzles with authenticity, and is a witty, smart, entertaining exploration of one facet of the Brit Beat phenomenon.
Two A Penny (Dir. James F. Collier, 1967): An art student becomes involved in drug dealing because he has no money. Stealing and cheating his deceit impacts on the lives of those around him.
