A Wonderful Film
This film apparently inspired the British comic troupe "The League Of Gentlemen".I'm not surprised.
The film was directed by the popularly underrated Basil Dearden and starred the equally underrated Jack Hawkins.
What a shame they're so underrated!
The cast were brilliantly chosen and the plot is inspired. It would probably be impossible to remake this film acceptably well - it is very much of it's time.
Nigel Patrick will tell you, old darling, that you should watch this film with warmth and humour - the way it was made.
