The quartet accidentally end up in Elizabethan England and the Professor gets thrown in the tower for making prophecies about the future of the throne. It's an amiable enough picture, but Handley never really found a screen persona to match his radio one. Olga Lindo is the standout as Elizabeth though she's helped by a striking resemblance to Flora Robson. The inhabitants of a perfect English village excitedly look forward to the Prime Minister's visit, but then realise they have to do something about the local drunk first. Sweet little comedy with Eddie Byrne getting a star part for once and giving it all he's got.
Script adapt .
Little lad trapped in bank vault is the basis of this low budget suspense movie. It builds up a fair bit of tension, though some of the Canadian accents are a little rough. Script adapt . Michael Redgrave is the drunk trying to prove his son didn't commit murder. A great cast is sunk by an over-heated script and rotten direction from Joseph Losey.
