Contraband Spain (1955)
A Blu-ray from Network that was disappointing all round. Despite a decent cast there was nothing they could do with what was an uninteresting and uneven story of counterfeit US Dollars being brought into Europe via Spain. It plods along but there's barely anything of note happening.
The restoration is really not great. Although it notes this on the sleeve it really doesn't tell you that the colour flits between normal and green tinted almost continuously. It's not a huge difference but once you notice it then it's really fookin' obvious.
So yes, certainly disappointing all round, but even if the picture quality had been immaculate the film would still have been deathly dull.
