Edward Small Top Ten

 I haven't seen even half his huge output but here's a possible top ten:

1) The Son of Monte Cristo (1940) - I actually prefer it to the Count due to George Sanders

2) Last of the Mohicians (1936) - Michael Mann paid tribute to the quality of this

3)Witness for the Prosecution (1957) - look not really a Small film but I'll give it to him

4) Abroad with Two Yanks (1943) - a fun comedy for Aussies

5) The Man in the Iron Mask (1939) - Louis Hayward becomes a kind of star

6) The Corsican Brothers (1941) - really fun swashbuckler

7) T Men (1947) - excellent noir 

8) Greenage Summer (1961) - like Witness, not really a Small film but what the heck

9) The Tower of London (1962) - a Corman film, he clashed with Small, but I liked it

10) South of Pago Pago (1941) - fun south sea melo
