The Squeeze -1977- Stacy Keach. The Sweeney sort of time in undeveloped Notting Hill gate and West London locations creates the perfect setting in better times.Looking forward to seeing this again. It might be on YouTube if I can’t find a dvd Blu-ray. Very good car chase if I recall

Offbeat -The original publication was really good and enjoyed (Thank you ) and I discovered a lot of movies unknown to me. The revised updated version comes in at 604 pages and will be a great read and catch up on great British films. This will be a Christmas gift to myself.
