Film Synopsis
Cathy Timberlake is furious when, on the day she has to go for a job
interview, a passing Rolls-Royce splashes mud on her coat and
dress. She is so furious in fact that she insists on seeing the
man responsible for this thoughtless act. But when she sets eyes

somehow she just can't turn down his offer to spend a romantic weekend
with him in Bermuda. Philip thinks he has won another easy
conquest. How wrong he is...

The best of American cinema
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
