(Milland), in which general manager and veteran miner Frank Lemmer

into excavating the seam of gold beyond the river. Meanwhile,
Slater becomes passionately involved with Steyner's wife (Susannah
York), unaware that the scheme hatched by her husband will result
in his death.
An alien pod discovered in the Antarctic takes over one of the

Offbeat 1960s Hammer Studios fantasy horror. When Captain Lansen
(Eric Portman)'s leaky cargo ship is blown off course, the crew
members find themselves in a mysterious, fog-shrouded ocean where
the seaweed eats human flesh and mutated crab-like creatures with
huge claws are on the loose. The surviving crew and passengers then
encounter a band of Spanish conquistadors who think it is still the
1500s and the Inquisition is still in progress.
Upon leaving jail, petty criminal Charlie Croker (Michael Caine)
inherits a carefully planned $4,000,000 gold robbery in Italy. With
the original mastermind of the plan murdered, Croker needs
financial backing and finds it in Mr Bridger (Noel Coward in his
last screen role), a quintessential English crime boss still
incarcerated by Her Majesty's Prison Service. Bridger supplies
Charlie with his own gang of bank robbers, getaway drivers and
computer whizz-kids, and helps him plan the heist (during the
practice runs Caine utters the infamous phrase 'you were only
supposed to blow the bloody doors off'), which results in the
world's biggest traffic jam. The gang's getaway in red, white and
blue minis is accompanied by the tune 'Getta Bloomin Move On' (aka
'Self Preservation Society') written by Quincy Jones and George
Martin.
