A Safe Affair

A compact, talky British B-film that moves through its jewel-thief plot with modest suspense and little flourish.

A stately silent melodrama where romantic longing and class tension simmer beneath a polite social gathering, building to a tense standoff.

A creaky silent melodrama of crooks and swells, more curious than gripping, with menace carried by faces and gestures rather than words.

A slow, dusty crime story that simmers with quiet menace and a sense of impending trouble.

A quiet, stagey silent-era chamber piece that turns a polite dinner into a small, uncomfortable test of class and trust.

A gentle, gentlemanly caper that ambles along with dry wit and old-world charm, never raising its voice.

A compact old-fashioned crime yarn that moves along steadily with mild suspense and a touch of period charm.

A brief, simple silent-era lark that breezes by with gentle slapstick and an easy, uncomplicated charm.

A gentle old-fashioned mystery that unfolds like a dinner-table anecdote, more talk than thrills.

A short, straightforward old crime programmer that moves along steadily without much flourish.

A soapy, talky weekend gathering where romance and murder simmer among strangers in a grand house.

A quiet, stagey silent melodrama of scheming lovers, watched with the patient attention old films demand.
