My Grading System
A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).
Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Prisoner (1955)
Is there any role the great Alec Guinness can't excel at? Probably not. Here he's a Catholic Cardinal arrested by the Communist police for treason. He's innocent but his Interrogator intends to break him so the people no longer have a hero to speak out against the government. Alec Guinness is amazing as well as Jack Hawkins. Directed by Peter Glenville from Bridget Boland's play. Grade: B+
