I wish I lived in this era. My Grannie always used to say they were the best times. Leslie Philips - I’ve never seen him in a serious role, such talented actor. These films were so good in content, good actors, not relying on CGI, no violence, and no sex and naked bodies needed. I don’t watch tv, or go to the cinema, it’s all rubbish now. Thank you for uploading all these wonderful movies. It’s much appreciated 💓❤️💓

it's surprising that Leslie was able to convey his real persona in his fictitious character - Philips was a promiscuous man throughout his entire life and this actually came out in the movie when you look at his interactions with women. I bet he loved a good shag!!! What's the chance that after filming he was having sex with one of the women from the set? Very high imo.

I agree with you. There are some good quality dramas on TV today but you really have to search for them. The BBC still produce a fair bit of good stuff if you don't mind British drama. Living in your Grannie's era wouldn't change things for you though. Your Gran's era was one of the most violent in history. World War Two killed 70 million people. Then there was Vietnam, Korea, in fact I don't think that in the last century there has been a moment of world peace. The 1918 flu epidemic killed an estimated 50 million. Thank God we have vaccines today. Measles, polio, small pox, whooping cough, tuberculosis etc. As much as I too pine for the 'old' days I think we live in the best time right now.

What an unexpected pleasure to see Lionel Blair here, as the dancer. And quite a coincidence​-he died recently at 92, just a few days ago, on 4 Nov 21.

Gimme break, I love these old movies too but to infer that Hollywood can't make movies like this is total BS, they don't make them because no one would watch them if they did, Old movies have great nostalgic value and you can't mass produce nostalgia, In 50 or 60 years from now young people of today will be old and saying the same thing about today's movies compared to the movies produced....in 50 or 60 years! No Doubt when this was made the old people were telling the young people how great Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were and how much better they were than the current stars....it's called Human Nature!

Of course these are all really commentaries about the present. The past is a mythical golden time that we can compare the dreary present to.

Lloyd Bridges was fantastic in Sea Hunt, one of the best television shows ever.

Let me be the first "Commenter" to attest to the film's suspense and mystery. The visual, audio, scenes, and acting were all noteworthy. But it was the plot that "takes the cake". No film that I have watched has had a plot like this one. And the ending is......well....it is very unusual. Thank you, sallis65, for making this most enjoyable movie available.

Wow, Mike Nelson, The Sherrif of Nottingham and Lt. Phillips all in one film!

Lionel Blair, Leslie Phillips, Lloyd Bridges ... this must have been their earliest works.

omg the inspector is the evil Sherrif of Nottingham from the Brit series 'Robin Hood' with Richard Greene.

I remember Lloyd Bridges was in a weekly TV series called "Sea Hunt".

One of the most enjoyable vintage films. Alan Wheatley playing against type as a good guy and nice performance by Rachel Roberts (who would appear 20 years later in 'Murder on the Orient Express'). A real find. Thanks.

nothing to do with this movie really but I have noticed that English films and even tv shows(Foyles War, Midsomer Murders, GREAT STUFF, especially Foyle's War) the ONLY thing necessary is to change costumes and mode of transportation to shoot great stuff set in ANY time period. movies and shows that would require a 'set' to be shot in America but no sets were needed in the above, even though a 70 year difference in time periods. in both we get to see REAL England, from homes of the poor to grand estates, inside and out. hundreds of years old but still in use and the pubs.........
