This time around, it's Scottish villages and the Jersey Shore in the 1950s. We start with the 1983 British comedy Local Hero starring Peter Riegert, Burt Lancaster and Peter Capaldi, then we go to 1996 for Stanley Tucci, Tony Shalhoub and Isabella Rosellini in Big Night. I also offer my thoughts on the death of podcasting friend and good human being, Vince Rotolo.

For this one we go from 1975 apartheid South Africa for the political action thriller The Wilby Conspiracy starring Michael Caine, Sidney Poitier and Nichol Williamson (who steals the flick) to 1950s St Tropez for Roger Vadim's scandalous and sensuous ...And God Created Woman, starring Brigitte Bardot, Curd Jurgens and Jean-Louise Trintingnant. Bureau of State Security versus Bardot doing the mambo.

This time around it's two Eurocrime movies from the great and largely unsung action director Henri Verneuil. 1969's The Sicilian Clan starring Jean Gabin, Alain Delon and Lino Ventura and 1971's The Burglars (Le Casse) starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Omar Sharif and Dyanne Cannon. Capers, car chases, tough guys and the best plan hijacking in cinema history.
