Featuring some witty dialogue and likable performances from Lowe and Cummings, the gripping story zips along culminating in a superbly realised breathtaking train wreck.
When approaching a movie such as this from the thirties, British and lacking a big Hollywood budget you kind of know what to expect. Well Seven Sinners confounded all my expectations. I thought it was a real gem of a movie.
The dvd which i bought in a previous Network sale now seems to be out of print. Providing it's still with Network this will be highly recommended should it get a future blu-ray release. |
Dem you are a bloody genius, my dad was asking me about this film the other day and I couldn't remember the title,
