8. A still picture from the movie "Grand Slam" with Edward G. Robinson. A Rivarossi HO layout and train set with accessories. Movie details: Grand Slam Year: 1968 Director: Giuliano Montaldo Stars: Janet Leigh, Robert Hoffman, Klaus Kinski, Riccardo Cucciola, George Rigaud, Adolfo Celi, Edward G. Robinson Genre: Action, Thriller Review: Heist movies don't come much better than this, a lost classic from the late 60’s that while obviously influenced by Jules Dassin’s Rififi (is there a heist movie that doesn’t borrow from this French masterpiece) has enough twists, gadgets, and ingenious planning to keep the most demanding of crime movie fans satisfied. Giulano Montaldo’s gripping thriller, a European/American co-production, filmed mostly on location in Brazil has gone unnoticed for far too long and deserves to find a place along side other great works of the genre such as the afore mentioned Rififi. Edward G Robinson plays mild-mannered teacher, Professor James Anders, an American working in Rio De Janeiro. Anders, bored with years of teaching, decides to put together a team to pull off a diamond heist during the Rio Carnival. In classic crime movie style, a team of four international experts are brought together to carry out the robbery: a safe cracking expert, a master thief, a mechanical genius, and a playboy (to seduce the only women with a key to the building holding the diamond’s, the lovely Janet Leigh). Of the crooks, Klaus Kinski steals the show as a borderline psychotic (how did you guess) explosive expert who continually appears to be on the brink of cracking up and betraying the rest of the gang. Nobody can do the wide-eyed stare of a madman quite as well as Kinksi (probably down to the fact of him being a psychotic lunatic in real life) and he ploughs through the film with his usual intensity. It’s also great to see a Hollywood legend like Robinson chewing the scenery as the "man with the plan", and although he appears to only have been available for a few days filming (all exterior shots of him walking through streets are obvious studio shot back-projection) he makes his presence felt like only an actor of his magnitude can. The climactic robbery is a simply awesome piece of nerve-shredding cinema, taking Rififi’s twenty minute silent heist sequence and setting it within a post-James Bond, gadget filled environment with invisible laser beams, fold out climbing frames, and the super sensitive microphones of the "Grand Slam" device. It’s genuinely edge-of-the-seat stuff, which hands down, beats anything Hollywood has had to offer since in lame attempts such as Sneakers, or Entrapment. The always reliable Ennio Morricone keeps things interesting with a groovy score that makes heavy use of traditional brazilian samba beats, and Antonio Macasoli’s beautifully composed scope photography is well served by Blue Undergrounds new DVD release which has a super-sharp anamorphic transfer. A word of warning however, try not to look at the Chapter card on the inside of the DVD case, as the image on the card clearly gives away the film’s surprise ending. Hip, cool, and stylishly sixties, Grand Slam comes unreservedly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, exciting piece of crime drama, but is willing to look further a field than Ocean’s Eleven or The Score.

20. "Roadblock" Film Photo - A still picture from the movie "Roadblock". An American Flyer Toy train layout in North Creek Post Office. The American flyer locomotive is probably a 300 Atlantic judging from the photo date, but the number is not visible on the cab. The passenger cars are of the New Haven type produced in the 40s and 50s. The ZW transformer and the water tank are by Lionel. Movie details: Roadblock (1951) is a American film noir starring Charles McGraw and Joan Dixon. The 73-minute crime thriller was shot on location in Los Angeles, California. The film was directed by Harold Daniels and the cinematography is by Nicholas Musuraca.[1] Plot Insurance investigator Joe Peters (McGraw) and his partner Harry Miller (Louis Jean Heydt) solve a case and prepare to fly home. Joe meets Diane (Dixon) at an airport. She pretends to be his wife without his knowledge in order to get a large discount on the airfare. They wind up sharing a hotel room after a storm forces an unscheduled stop. Joe is attracted to Diane, despite his dislike for "chiseler"s. She makes it quite clear she loves the finer things in life, which "Honest Joe" (as Diane calls him) cannot possibly afford on his small salary of $350 a month, so they part when they reach Los Angeles. By coincidence, when Joe and Harry are assigned to check out Kendall Webb (Lowell Gilmore), the prime suspect in a fur robbery, Joe runs into Diane, who is now Webb's girlfriend. Their mutual attraction flares up, and Joe sets up a robbery to Webb, using his inside knowledge of a $1,250,000 cash shipment, to finance a dream life with Diane. Ironically, Diane decides that her love for Joe is greater than her love of money. When she tells Joe she wants to get married, he tries to back out of his deal with Webb. However, Webb convinces him that Diane might not feel the same after a few months living on his paltry pay. The robbery coincides with Joe and Diane's honeymoon, giving him an alibi. Eventually, Joe confesses to Diane what he has done. The railway mail car robbery is successful, but a railroad employee is injured and later dies. Things go downhill from there. One of the robbers is identified and arrested. Desperate, Joe arranges to meet Webb on a desolate stretch of highway by telling him he has a plan to get them out of their mess. However, after a struggle, he knocks Webb out and stages a car accident in which Webb is killed and his share of the money partially burned. Harry figures out that his partner is involved and pleads with him to turn himself in. Instead, Joe tries to flee to Mexico with Diane, but is tracked down and shot. He dies in Diane's arms. Cast Charles McGraw as Joe Peters Joan Dixon as Diane Lowell Gilmore as Kendall Webb Louis Jean Heydt as Harry Miller Milburn Stone as Egan
