When Michael Hordern raises his chains in a loud apocalyptic yell. This really makes me need to watch for that particular moment each Christmas it's on. To think George Cole went on to be in the UK tv drama 'Minder' makes him a widely skilled actor in my opinion. I've not seen the other films or tv his been in but would seek IMDB, to look out for George Cole and Michael Hordern in other production they have acted in. To see that it's enjoyable with 18yr old to 25yr olds, now makes this even more outstanding in professional acting for its appeal not only for middle aged viewers like myself who would watch as a child when parent turned the telly on to see it. But that yell and scene with Michael Hordern is by far the best in my books
The timing is great and always has me turn the volume up for that part of the scene he plays each time I watch the film.

Im in my 40s and grew up with a father who watched black and white films. Nothing else was on so gave this a go....the film aired on Talking Pictures tv, Kept me watching it to find out the mystery...the ending was sudden...but that adds to the entertainment value on a personal level...I wonder how this might pan out as a remake with Jessica Hynes as Victoria Barton....
