Even more fiercely determined
to oppose the fancy is Foreign
Office man Alexander Knox, an
old China hand who has written
a book disputing the whole
Eastern code of superstition.
Still another point of view Is
that represented by the air mar
shai's aide, a former Raj
pilot who regards the fight as
an adventure whichever way it
turns out. AS for the ranking
civilian aboard. a top Foreign
Ministry executive, he is in
different.
The actual flight is a violent
test of each of these, and sew
eral other, points Of view. In
one detail, such as a savage cleo
trio storm of Okinawa, the
dream is confirmed; in another,
it is contradicted. Whic h
counts the heavier? The pas
sengers do not know. But there
is never a moment when each
does not have something drama
tic to think about, or to discuss at
such moments as they can bring
themselves to talk.
1t is an expert balance Of in
tolerable tension and uneasy
relaxation that Norman has
wrought in directing the film. 1t
is also useful to relaxing the
strain on the spectator that the
English passengers are a plucky,
cheerful lot whose wit and sense
Of the absurd deserts them only
in moments of the direst peril.
The performances in The
Night My Number Came Up"

standard expected OF the English
