I have wondered about this lately. I had always thought that that didn't happen as time has GOT to be different when we die than when we live. However, Hebrews DOES talk about witnesses so maybe you are right. I know we're not supposed to conjure up the dead as that takes God's place (in a way) but I think I'm more on your page these days.

The best thing about these old films is how even the lowliest character on the social scale has a really posh accent. Although that has kinda never really changed within British films and TV....

When I was 7 in 1950 I changed comics from the Beano to the Eagle and PC 49 was on the back page. After Dan Dare on the front, PC 49 was favourite.

What an old Hammer treasure to find here! Thanks much. ;)

SIMPLY BRILLIANT GOOD OLD COPPERING AT ITS BEST.

Have to say it, this one is quite hard to sit through nowadays. But it was a success for Hammer because PC 49 was such a popular character back then, especially with children. Still, it gives an interesting insight into what life was like in those days.

it probably would have been hard work being a PC in those days. ..always walking everywhere. ..in heat or chill... and being always on the alert. Every day all year long.

Can't believe the same company Hammer, famous for horror classics and psychological thrillers made this. A curiosity piece of very British quota quickies made on a shoestring.

PC 49 was in the Eagle every week. I got to read it for free on my paper round.

PC49 was a little grainy, but clear enough to watch. The sound was good. The British accent was understandable through most of the movie. The plot was interesting keeping our attention. The Police Copper #49 volunteered to imbed himself with a local gang to bring them down. He learned his part well to do this, being very believable to the gang members. But he had a hurdle to jump and overcome. This was a 1 hour good movie for which we offer thanks to gary170459

👍 story in a fine clear print 😀

PC 49 gave all his energy to noticing the cold, getting his illegal cup of tea and kissing his wife, completely ignoring the direct order by his boss to keep an eye open for exactly the thing that actually happened, completely caught off guard in handling it. Then he had the nerve to ask his superiors if they would mind letting him in on solving it.

Those were the days....

She gives him a drink which he takes with his right hand and gets told off. What nonsense! I'm left handed and regularly drink right handed. Somebody even said about it in the pub thinking I should drink left handed. it depends where I put my glass which hand I use. Then the police smash the cafe window, kick a few panels in before thinking to kick it where it matters. A good film anyway.

Back when policemen were smart no tattoos, and were proper coppers

These are good, but could be even better if they were unscaled. Ok on a small screen, but very blurry on a big TV.

absolutely amateurish and wooden. No wonder the British film industry at that time was laughed at by the Americans. Personally I love the 50's and later British movies but this particular movie and era I suppose was still in it's infancy and as such the director and actors/actresses had no idea how to act believably. But thank you for posting the movie anyway as the nostalgia of that era always makes me feel good especially when one has experienced the same era as I did.
