Checked out NIGHT AMBUSH last night. (Original title, ILL MET BY MOONLIGHT.) Didn't care for it at all. Considered a lesser Powell/Pressburger--Powell himself didn't like the film. "Watching the movie again years later, Powell complained that he "was surprised by how bad the film was..."

I don't have TCM, but I hope I'll get an opportunity to hear Paul's comments about his selections.

As much as I admire PTA's creative output, many of his recommendations have left me scratching my head. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[edit] For the record, I have seen and enjoyed DINER and SWEET SMELL.
