Vincent Price
In this thriller, set mainly in Mexico,
Mitchum plays a gambler down on his luck who accepts a generous payment to visit a luxury hotel and await further instructions. The other guests include a disillusioned gold-digging singer, a vain film star, a drunken pilot and some very sinister figures. All is not what it seems....
This unusual, and often comic, Howard Hughes production is being shown for the first time in a complete, restored version.

from Tidmarsh, Berkshire Presented by Geoff Hamilton and Roy Lancaster
Over 25 years ago Bill Baker took over a two-acre garden with a very alkaline soil which he now maintains single-handed. He has planted it for all-year-round beauty by use of good colour, shape and texture combinations. His first loves are Lilium, and he has produced many new varieties. Despite living in a frost pocket he has walls covered with a wide range of shrubs and climbers and many roses. It is a garden full of mystery, with grass paths leading to new treasured areas; a pool, bog garden, rock garden and herbaceous borders.
