  What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice? sees a change of direction for Robert Aldrich's unofficial trilogy which all involve "ageing actresses" in macabre thrillers (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and Hush ... Hush, Sweet Charlotte). The busy Aldrich only produced What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice?, calling in TV director Lee H Katzin (a Mission: Impossible regular) to handle the megaphone. Aldrich also opted to shoot the film in pastel colours appropriate to the unusual Arizona desert setting rather than the gothic black and white of the earlier films. The film cast the less iconic Geraldine Page as the genteelly unpleasant Mrs Clare Marrable. Left apparently penniless by her departed husband, Mrs M opts to keep up appearances by hiring a succession of timid elderly housekeepers, bossing them around with well-spoken nastiness, duping them out of their life savings and, on the pretence of getting help with a midnight tree-planting program, lures them into their own graves, batters them to death and plants lovely pines over them. Page gets her own way with the meek likes of Mildred Dunnock, until the feistier, red-wigged R!uth Gordon applies for the job and gets down to amateur sleuthing. While Bette Davis and her partners went wildly over the top in previous films, Page and Gordon play more subtly, finding odd pathetic moments in between the monstrous, irony-laced horror stuff. The supporting cast of pretty or handsome young things, mostly putty in the hands of the manipulative Page, contribute striking little cameos (Rosemary Forsyth sports a pleasing 1969 hairdo as the kindly but intimidated neighbour), but the film belongs to its leading ladies, delivering a fine line in twist-packed cat-and-mouse theatrics. The video is handsomely letterboxed, as befits a film made before widescreen films were shot with all the action in the middle of the frame to facilitate television sales. --Kim Newman

  NO-ONE derived more satisfaction from Rory McIlroy's first Major win at the US Open than his lifelong mentor and coach Michael Bannon.Bannon discovered the potential of the boy McIlroy a decade before he burst onto the international scene - a ruddy-faced and wiry-haired teenage phenomenon - winning the Silver Medal as leading amateur in the 2007 Open at Carnoustie.Now you can learn from the man who has helped the 22-year-old become the biggest sensation in world golf since Tiger Woods and a favourite for next month's Augusta Masters.Bannon, a quietly-spoken and modest club pro at Bangor GC, County Down, has collaborated with technology-inspired teaching pro Pat Trainor, to produce a very different method of coaching by thinking outside the box.It's that desperate desire to hit that little white thing that can get in the way for many players, explains Michael. We take it out of the equation until they learn how to swing. By the end of the course we want the student to be almost swinging without thinking. Hopefully this way they will groove a swing that the golf ball will eventually get in the way of.The other difference is that we teach the full follow-through before the backswing, which some people may think is back to front, but we have found is far better for getting the fundamentals right.This is the integral message of the DVD which shows Bannon out on the course, working on the techniques with 19-year-old international Victoria Bradshaw.The only promise we make is that if you follow the instructions for 10 minutes each day over a six week period you will develop a solid golf swing with great fundamentals which will stay with you for life, says Michael.But let the last word go to McIlroy: Michael is a wonderful teacher because he can explain things to simply and naturally. I am someone who just wants to get out there and play attacking golf and he knew instinctively how to get the best out of me.
