They don't fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

Warning: Spoilers
My brain was threatened with snatching in trying to comprehend this British mess of a sci-fi thriller involving the sudden disappearance of thrill artists in a sky diving show. The use of a yellow filter makes it appear that they're on fire in the middle of the air, but there's no remnants of them found until one is found out of the blue, badly injured and dying, not burnt up, and giving no clue to what happened.

A real snooze fest pairs the great George Sanders and Maurice Evans surrounded by a bland British cast, spouting bland pretentious dialog and doing nothing to elevate this. At least there's some pretty location footage in the countryside and some music that sounds ahead of its time. Sci-fi fans will definitely tune in to see comparisons of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", but I found none.
