Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe final pairing of Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, which had started with The Lady Vanishes (1938).
- GoofsThe aircraft used is shown in exterior shots to be a civil version of the Halifax bomber, but the lavish interior of the fuselage appears to be much too wide for that type, and the big square windows shown in interior shots are not present on the exterior. In fact, the aircraft shown in exteriors, G-AKEC, appears to have been used for freight, not for passengers.
- Quotes
Jennifer Peters: Why do you Scotsmen leave your country if you're so fond of it.
Jock Melville: Someone's got to civilise the world. Surely you realise Scotland's chief exports are brains and whiskey.
Featured review
Stop All the Clocks
Set in the sleepy little village of Slipford, "a village bypassed by progress", and described by the late David Shipman as "so silly it was not released". The use of the much-vaunted Dynamic Frame process makes this extraordinary folly look simultaneously cheap & amateurish and yet also rather avant-garde in the style of Karel Zeman's animated fantasies of the fifties and sixties.
And it's impossible not to like a film in which Basil Radford & Naunton Wayne keep popping up in cameo roles as 'The Mechanical Types'.
