Featured review
Life Line
A cautionary warning on the perils of harassing females. That is exactly what Steve (Don Taylor) and his friend Bobo do at the local fairground. Telling lone women that they look like a film star.
It does not work as one of them beckons a policeman. They hope into the tent of Madame Cecile, a fortune teller and a Steve's relative.
Steve tries to sponge some money off her. As Madame Cecile leaves the tent to fetch the money. A young woman called Barbara steps into the tent to have her fortune read. While a rollercoaster makes a din each time it passes overhead.
Steve recognises her as a wealthy heiress. He impersonates a visiting psychic and tells Barbara she will be involved in a car crash but walk away from it unharmed. A valuable ring will be stolen and that she will fall in love with a man who will die.
To Steve this is a con. He tells his pal Boba to get an old jalopy to crash into Barbara's car and even steal her ring. Boba goes off and disappears.
Only Barbara arrives telling Steve that two of the predictions have come true. She is worried about the third prediction. After spending time in the funfair together, she asks Steve to visit her mansion.
However Steve just cannot harassing lone women and that rollercoaster ride beckons him.
Once Boba came back telling Madame Cecile what happened to him. You can sense where this was heading even if you had not worked it out beforehand.
Not sure I buy the instant love story though.
