SIX MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT – Review by Martha K Baker

Six Minutes to Midnight offers insight if not brilliance. This film tells a little known story with more effort than excellence. First, the title: Six minutes to midnight translates to 11:54 on a clock; 1154 translates to the telephone exchange for the British intelligence bureau charged with finding an agent. He was posing as an English teacher but went missing with his camera.

THE SONG OF NAMES – Review by Martha K Baker
