Like the man said, you can't go home again, and you got that right, Tom. I saw this movie as a young kid and overall retained fond memories of the film overall without remembering anything specific except that in one segment a coupon checker employed by a Football Pool, attempts to 'slip' a winning entry - filled in after the results were broadcast - into the pile being checked. Even then my memory played tricks because I had spent a lifetime 'remembering' a female coupon checker when in fact it was Dennis Price, who against the run of play and laws of probabilities, had 'pulled' Greta Gynt and was acting at her behest. The other three segments had completely dropped off me mental radar and in playing order they were 1) a 'family' sequence in which, improbably, an 'ordinary' family inhabit what appears to be a minor mansion with umpteen rooms and a panelled dining room. Their genuine pools wins leads, inevitably to discord. In the second segment, milquetoast Mervyn Johns also enjoys a genuine win but is too brain-washed to quit his job. Succumbing to counter-brainwashing by his take-no-prisoners wife, he decides to fake a heart attack in order to retire on health grounds, only to suffer the real thing. The third segment is the one I half- remembered and the fourth features Edward Rigby as a disgruntled bass player in a large orchestra.
Like the man also said, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
