A quiet place to kill 1970 ... called paranoia in europe and canada... which is the title shown, at about ten seconds in. Helen is invited by her ex-husband for a visit to majorca. When she arrives, she discovers that it was actually his new wife who sent the invite. They are all friendly to each other... for now! But what is really going on here? Female frontal nudity. And lots of it! The script starts out quite tame; there's flirting and seducing, but the story itself doesn't really have much meat on the bones. About thirty minutes in, things (finally) start to happen! And they shoot pigeons for sport. They release the pigeons from a hole in the ground... and blast em as they start to fly. Doesn't sound very sporting to me! Kind of a metaphor for what's coming, i guess. Lots of suspense, twists and turns in this one. Not bad. Not great. Directed by umberto lenzi.

Fun names in this one! Beth grant (sordid lives ), emmet walsh (awesome character actor), samuel jackson. Mickey rourke, willem defoe. When sheriff ray dolezal finds a body and a suitcase full of money in the desert, he gets caught up in something big ! He dials a phone number from a piece of paper, and keeps the appointment that was meant for someone else. And gets beaten up. Several times. But now the fbi is all over him for losing the money. What is really going on ? Can anyone trust anyone here? Even the viewer isn't sure who to trust. Pretty good, with some twists and turns. And some unlikely events. But anything is possible! Directed by roger donaldson. Has won a bunch of film fest awards. Story by daniel pyne. Currently showing on the kanopy streaming. Looks like this title has been used for many projects over the years...

Vince edwards was also ben casey, for 153 episodes! Here, he's claude, a loner who needs money to buy a house, a certain mansion. So he takes a job as a contract killer. But when he gets the assignment to knock off a female witness, it throws him off his game. And now he has two mugs making sure he does the job. It's pretty good for a columbia B picture! The guys in the gang are all well spoken, and have style. We see some great scenery around los angeles, as they drive around town, in the late 1950s. It's not bad, but if you read the goofs section on imdb, there are some pretty big pot holes and plot holes in the story. But it's still a fun watch! Story by ben simcoe. Directed by irving lerner.
