College Confidential
(1960)

Strange and dim exploitation
This movie has a professional cast and good production values but it so unclear as to what it wants to be about that its all for nothing. It does portray college students pretty much as they really are: ready to label other people as creeps, not seeing what creeps they are themselves. However, Steve Allen really does seem creepy as the professor. That scene, where he accidentally shows the porno film cut into the home movies of wholesome student fun! It really and truly is embarassing to watch, just as if you were really there. I've never seen a scene like that it in any other movie. The only thing that comes anywhere near close is the gay bar scene in "Advise and Consent" Any showcase for Mamie Van Doren is a good thing. I would say more but I couldn't finish watching it.

Gun Belt
(1953)

Cheesy 50's western
A low budget 50's western that is not really all that bad. George Montgomery is the hero and Tab Hunter as his nephew. Hunter is so young in this movie that he's almost unrecognizable. You keep looking at him and thinking is that Tab Hunter? The villain is a real scary bad guy whose name is Ike Clinton. Why Clinton? Why not Clanton? Were they going for historical accuracy? The marshall in the town is named Virgil Earp so its hard to say what they were trying to do history-wise. It's slow-paced, melodramatic and cartoony: everything it should be.
