The House In Marsh Road (1960)

Starring Tony Wright, Patricia Dainton, Sandra Dorne, Derek Aylward, Sam Kydd
Directed by Montgomery Tully

A struggling married couple receive an unexpected windfall when the wife is bequeathed the home of her aunt, but after they move in they discover it's haunted by a ghost.

An interesting British film based on Laurence Meynell's novel, that although it's not a comedy, features not a horrific but a more mischievous ghost who generally leaves the other dwellers alone, until Dainton's character is wronged by her husband.  Wright, playing the husband, is okay, but doesn't deliver a performance worthy of the cad his character is, an alcoholic writer who continually demeans his wife, and has the nerve to steal money from her to give to his mistress.  Dainton fares better, with a nice moxie on display when she stands up to Wright and refuses his ideas that will bring them back to poverty's door.  The focus is more on their relationship than the ghost, and don't expect anything major as far as special effects, which are quite limited, but I still enjoyed the film.  I was rather intrigued by the musical score, which includes a theme whose first several notes are reminiscent of the theme to TV's One Step Beyond, somewhat fitting as the story, with it's supernatural presence and fiery climax, could have certainly appeared on that series.

The Electronic Monster (1958)

Starring Rod Cameron, Mary Murphy, Meredith Edwards, Peter Illing, Carl Jaffe

Directed by Montgomery Tully

An insurance investigator is sent to France to look into the accidental death of a movie star, and discovers he and other recent fatalities spent time at a psychotherapy clinic before their deaths.

This is a small-scale thriller but a fun one with some sci-fi content in the clinic's method of beaming images into their patients' brains, and the welcome presence of tough guy Cameron in the lead and Murphy as his very attractive love interest.  Although it's more or less a straightforward potboiler, one has to think that screenwriter Charles Eric Maine is making some satiric commentary on television, which is far too similar to the "electronic monster" of the title to be a coincidence.

The Terrornauts (1967)

Starring Simon Oates, Zena Marshall, Charles Hawtrey, Patricia Hayes, Stanley Meadows
Directed by Montgomery Tully
(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)

Scientists listening for signals from outer space detect one and transmit back, resulting in their being transported to an asteroid by an alien spacecraft.

Although the premise of this film, based on a novel by Murray Leinster, makes for an interesting sci-fi adventure, this is compromised somewhat by extremely low-tech special effects, and yet I still had a good time watching this.  It's regrettable that outdoor landscapes for an archaeological site on Earth and an alien world look a bit too similar, and a rescue sequence involving hostile aliens is a bit too brief.  However, the cast of colorful characters, a pretty good music score, and some mystery as the scientists try to figure out alien contraptions all add up to an entertaining movie.
