Continuity: In the conversation with Maydig down by the river, Fotheringay places his cane on the log and rests his hands on it and also takes his cane off the log. There are several discrepancies in the relative positions of Fotheringay, Maydig and the cane in the cuts between these shots. There are also shots of each character by himself which it would be impossible to take if they were actually in the positions shown in the wider shots. moreFAQ

I saw this movie a couple of years ago when I couldn't get to sleep. I stuck the TV on and this film was just starting.
It's about a guy who gets the power to do whatever he wants, except change peoples feelings or minds.
Think Bruce Almighty made in the 1930's.
I would give this movie a 10, but nothings perfect and the fact that it wouldn't appeal to a mass audience today has forced me to put an 8.
Please watch this film if you ever get the chance. HG wells does a brilliant job on writing this one, most of his stories were way before their time, and this is no different.
This film really captured my heart, and I really hope it gets a DVD release.
