Roy Boutling was a great British movie maker.Nothing wasted, nothing overstated. Captured the era faithfully. Pity the uploader felt the need to have a huge advert hanging permanently on screen. BOO HISS.
Uploaded over a decade ago, back when the options for free DVD conversion software were more limited. This advertisement logo is not included because the person who uploaded the movie wanted it there, the software adds it automatically unless you pay for the premium version. Today we rarely see movies with that because it's cheap enough to buy the software license, and also most of the free apps don't add that huge permanent watermark that's so distracting.
I should have said it's easy to mistake the odd movies on here with the free software logos with the terrible channels that Do intentionally add their own distracting logos, I've seen one in particular that isn't satisfied with one in the corner but uses two of those and a third that's placed halfway to the left border from the center, talk about distracting and unwatchable smh 🙄 but it's a channel that had black and white era movies so some of you probably saw it too.
The same movie is on YT minus the ad. Hannah should delete this post and use a better one. Reposting bad stuff just adds to the enormous amount of bad 'stuff' on YT. You can't just rip the first thing you see, and if it's flawed like this one, skip it until you find a better one.
Here I am an American sitting on the edge of the Pacific and I am once again very very grateful to the British nation for its creativity in making this marvelous film. I just happened upon it and am so fortunate that I did so. It to me captures the spirit of the British people - understated courage and fierce attention to detail May I say Rule Britannia!
Thanks from the bottom of the heart of Britain's living in what used to be called during the Second World War as Little America. East Anglia because of the high number of American military bases in our area. We enjoyed meeting and working alongside loads of Young American men and women who came over to help in our war effort. For which we will be eternally grateful. And we take great pride in looking after the memorial of those who sadly did not get to go home, including those who had no know graves and those who remain on British soil at Madingley in Cambridgeshire. We also have the pleasure of young Americans serving today at R.A.F. Mildenhall and Lakenheath. They are fine ambassadors for the U.S.A.
We have loads to be thankful to the British nation. These movies are valuable capsules of history. Teaching history would be a start. No country has a clean historic record. But rewriting history is a crime against humanity. Democracy and free speech has been long and hard earned. By the way I am not British.
Love these older movies....can't get enough of them. Better acting & plots, no vulgarity and time killing, never-ending car chases. Much better content that today's movies!
Absolutely gripping! I can't write any more about this film without parroting the praise from the other reviews. I, too, am glad I stumbled upon this movie! Thank you so much for posting!!
Brilliant script of espionage filmed at Pinewood Studios. This is an English film of quality with some wonderful performers. Some well-known names in there as well. If only we could be treated to quality like this in this generation, but sadly we won't be. Entertaining indeed and highly recommended. Many thanks for posting. Much appreciated.
British films remain the best, and always shall. You just cannot go wrong with a British film, atmosphere and quality of script and dialogue and acting.
@@dougholliday467 I would not watch a Russian film for millions of dollars! Nobody should! That evil empire needs to be boycotted and sanctioned for 100 years, or until they give up ALL the stolen lands, pay reparations to them all, and give up all their weapons, including all nukes, including every last shred of nuclear fuel and uraniam yellow cake, or anything else that can be dangerous. They are a horrible bunch of paranoid nutcases who can never be allowed the resources to steal or kill again.
Wonderful film , despite giant Aimersoft logo . The film was so good after a while I just didn't notice . Even stared Joan Hickson who played mum and who later played Miss Marple , my favourite actress in that role . Great acting .
A great film,thoroughly enjoyed it. An excellent story line and a tightly woven plot. And not a bad actor among them. Although I'm an addict of old films I must confess that I hadn't seen or even heard of this little gem before. Ah...the days before electronic surveillance,when detectives had to get out there and do the leg work in order to put a case together. My late brother was a detective inspector back in the 60s/70s and was probably one of the last of that particular breed before computers came in to do the leg work for them. As opposed to fading into obscurity, a lot of the actors here went on to enjoy long and successful careers to a greater or lesser degree. Incidentally, Kenneth Griffith died about nine weeks ago, a fine actor. he was eighty four.
This was a great film. I love the atmosphere of the old black and white films and recognising actors/actresses from their younger days. It is weird to watch someone run to a phone box without thinking just for a few seconds 'why doesn't he use his mobile'.
I was born in 1944 in Birmingham, England. We all had great respect for our American allies. During the food rationing years it was wonderful that the American GIs seemed to carry and endless supply of gum! Any gum chum? Funny thing is that I couldn't eat it now. My jaws couldn't cope!
Iv'e watched this movie many times over the years, and I can't but think how it correlates to what's happening tin today's world in 2022. Man's quest for power, no matter how many lives are lost, just to stay seated in "government." No, it's not a new idea, but it sure "hits close to home."

Started watching this, looked good, but when I realized the DVD Ripper logo wasn't going to disappear, I quit. Really bad idea to upload a movie like this.
This is a truly marvellous movie that zips along like a firecracker, one of a series of neo-realist British police dramas in the early 1950s, using real London locations which today give a terrific insight into how the West End looked c.1951. The cast contains some of the great British characters performers of the period - Andre Morell (later star of Hammer Horrors) and Anthony Bushell as policemen, nervy Kenneth Griffith and sly Charles Lloyd Pack as Commie spys, Joan Hickson (later "Miss Marple") as a mum, Dora Bryan (who died only this month) as a silly woman obsessed with her kettle. The good guys are MI5, the baddies a never-directly mentioned band of Communist sabouteurs. Rousing music score, nice sets, the production written by the Boulting Brothers, one of their earliest efforts..
Very Well-Done!!! I suspect that if We we’re All aware of how closeTyranny & Destruction are to Us at all-times, We would be paralyzed with fear. I Thank & Praise-God for actively protecting and defending Us at all-times!!!
Once again, the best. There is nothing to compare with an British Movie. Thank you Hannah Clulow, for sharing; too, your marvelous Mum for sharing with her students. The logo, initially distracting, the acting, plot etc., was so captivating, that the logo for myself, disappeared into oblivion. A gem indeed!!!
I'm so embarrassed of our current state of affairs within Hollywood. We have lost so much talent that it created a vacuum. Technology will never replace art. Our universities are to blame and it will take a long time to replace.
Isn't it amazing what wonderful cars have been built in Britain, I could watch them all night. Furthermore I like these movies because of the civilized English that is spoken.
Their cars were and are, garbage. Jag-u-ars.....what's a jag-u-ar?! Is it like an ell-E-phant? All had hideously unreliable Lucas ignition or similar. Rolling garbage.
Than you for this terrific film . Great actors AND Battersea Power Station. Much appreciate the trouble you took to put this film up so we can enjoy these great British classics.
You are probably right. As an American I don't mind saying that. In the 30's,40's, and 50's we produced a lot of very professional actors and actresses that took pride in their work. They made clean, fun quality movies But comes along the 80's and it all changes. Trashy loud mouthed actors. Trashy movies, nudity, foul language, violence. Sad
It's a very tight and well moving movie. The characters are rich and well defined. It's fascinating to see London and how it look and acted soon after World War Two. Thank you for downloading the film. Keep up the great work.
The police - asking the shopkeeper if he had seen the deceased - = Yes.."He'd come in yesterday to pay his radio instalment"" ..Those words really hit me like a sledge hammer!! I remember, as a young girl living in the Eastern Suburbs in the 1950's, my mother, or father, had a small booklet with pages that they would fill out and take to the local Post Office..with money to pay for the ""radio instalment"!!! I always thought it horrible that we would have to pay for the pleasure of listening to the (rather antiquated) radio perched in a special spot in the kitchen!!! An amazing memory along with the horse drawn cart that the Milko had, and the Ice Man..filling up the Ice Chest..(he used to chip off a bit of ice for my sister and myself!!), Wow...The young people of today would never believe this!!! I think it is wonderful!!!
@@jeanhodgson8623 No! Joan Hickson is the definitive Marple. The Rutherford films - good fun though they are - showed no respect for Christie’s characters or narrative. They annoyed Agatha Christie who herself believed that Hickson would make a perfect Marple. The BBC Hickson series beautifully reflect and respect the stories as written. Also Hickson’s performance as Marple is hugely more subtle and skilled.
I look at these 'old' films and remember how London used to look and how people used to talk and behave and I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia for a people and standards that I grew up with but that are no longer present . I know there were aspects that weren't perfect, but on the whole it seemed a better time. I miss it terribly.
If you want exploding heads, lots of T and A, and fake digital effects, watch today's movies. If you want a story line and decent acting, watch a good British film from the 50s. Thanks for posting this highly absorbing film!
@@briangilley5093 The old British ones were by far the best! It's not the accents that we care about. Lots of old and new British films have a lot of US accents in them. It's all of the production values combined that make the old British ones better than ALL other countries' films. It was the Brits who taught the Americans how to do it. Especially Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock, both of whom began in British silent films, and literally discovered on their own how to make a good movie, before moving to the US and literally teaching them how.
It's a good film. A lot of tension, excitement and good dialogue. Also good sound and picture quality. Thanks for posting. (pity about the constant logo, but I forgot about it after a while).
I fed up of these complaints from some viewers. Get a life. You are getting good movies for free someone has taken the time and effort.Dont like it turn it off. Habitual complainers.
Roy Boulting's sequel to the more famous Boulting Bros. Seven Days to Noon. Wonderful cast. Good quality recording, sound as clear as a bell. Advertising logo is a little annoying but still well worth watching.
Really good movie! It truly makes one wonder how many MPs there are at this time with the same agenda! A scary thought but quite plausible. Thank you 🌹
Great movie! Thanks so much for uploading it. I didn't think the logo was too bad. I was able to ignore it without a problem. In other videos, they try to get around copyright issues by speeding up or slowing down the tape, or by cutting off part of the picture. This was far better than those practices.
Bit of trivia. Laurence Naismith, Anthony Bushell and Kenneth Griffith reunited to act in 1957 "A Night To Remember". Morse code played a key role in both films, and Griffith once again was a telegrapher!
Always enjoyed Kenneth Griffith's distinctive acting. Underrated, to be sure. Night To Remember is awfully hard to watch, painfully so, as it is fact and not fiction. I find the musicians the most poignant of all.
*FABULOUS* movie. Excellent acting. So nuanced. Great plot pacing and location shots. The logo was distracting at first but the actors and the story line pull you in to the picture and you're just gone. Thank you for uploading.
Voted: excellent atmospheric film! Wonderful to see roads before the advent of mass car ownership. Also people looking around for a phone to use; and high ranking police officers who looked like they meant business. . . . . ! Great stuff.
If you dont watch this movie you're a fool! This is an awesome movie with fantastic one liners.. !!! The one about "get on with the Revolution" is so funny . ..
I'm writing my undergrad dissertation on the representation of Communism and the Soviet Union in British Cold War Cinema and this is one of the films I desperately needed to see. Thank you so, so, so much you've made my day! :D
Yo! Sorry for not replying sooner, I didn't see the notification until now. Erm... rather than specific films I can direct you to an academic source that's been like my Bible. Tony Shaw's British Cinema and the Cold War. I'm studying "I'm All Right Jack" (1959) and "Conspirator" (1949) alongside this one. :)
Well said Alex, I'm alright Jack is one of the best movies ever made, it tells of the mad unions and employers and the movies is directly in the middle with subject, object and the percieved pain involved. Cheers.
It’s interesting to see that hundreds of people who think a point that has already been made in countless comments needs to be posted by them yet again.
Very enjoyable period film. Thank you for posting. I'd suggest to those who got their skivvies in a knot over the dreaded logo, go watch the movie elsewhere.

I fed up of these complaints from some viewers. Get a life. You are getting good movies for free someone has taken the time and effort.Dont like it turn it off. Habitual complainers.
Sad brats
Roy Boulting's sequel to the more famous Boulting Bros. Seven Days to Noon. Wonderful cast. Good quality recording, sound as clear as a bell. Advertising logo is a little annoying but still well worth watching.
What an amazing cast list, many thanks.
Amazing cast indeed and so young especially Victor Maddern one of my favourite actors.
Really good movie! It truly makes one wonder how many MPs there are at this time with the same agenda! A scary thought but quite plausible. Thank you 🌹

Jolly good show!!! A umber or familiar faces who always make for superb acting, and watching pleasure!!
Thank you.
I imagine the composer enjoyed writing the various pieces given at the musical society's concerts.
Fantastic. A great 'lost' classic.
Far superior actors! Love watching them too!😎
I do say old chap, this is really a great film. My favorite espionage movies are the Jean LeCarre films, this one stands alongside those.
Anyone remember when High Treason was a thing.

I LOVE THESE OLD BRITISH FLICKS . THANKS 4 POSTING !!!
Great movie! Thanks so much for uploading it. I didn't think the logo was too bad. I was able to ignore it without a problem. In other videos, they try to get around copyright issues by speeding up or slowing down the tape, or by cutting off part of the picture. This was far better than those practices.
Love these old English films , Joan Hickson , miss Marple 40 years later , just great
Great old classic movie!
Bit of trivia. Laurence Naismith, Anthony Bushell and Kenneth Griffith reunited to act in 1957 "A Night To Remember". Morse code played a key role in both films, and Griffith once again was a telegrapher!
Always enjoyed Kenneth Griffith's distinctive acting. Underrated, to be sure. Night To Remember is awfully hard to watch, painfully so, as it is fact and not fiction. I find the musicians the most poignant of all.
Pretty good movie, still relevant today
Over a half million views. Thanks for the upload. I really enjoy the street scenes from these old films.
Wow!!! Joan Hickson aka Miss Marple is in this gem.
Thank you for putting this on.
What a great film. Tight. I watched the whole film without any interruption. Thank you.
Great little enemble film. Thanks
*FABULOUS* movie. Excellent acting. So nuanced. Great plot pacing and location shots. The logo was distracting at first but the actors and the story line pull you in to the picture and you're just gone. Thank you for uploading.
@trilbywilby7826--- logo removal would still be best. Everyone likes a completely CLEAN full picture. Thank you.
Voted: excellent atmospheric film! Wonderful to see roads before the advent of mass car ownership. Also people looking around for a phone to use; and high ranking police officers who looked like they meant business. . . . . ! Great stuff.
Brilliant acting wonderful cast. Really enjoyed this film. Thank you
The good old days .Great stuff .
Enjoyed it very much. Saw the logo only in the first minutes of the movie, once I started enjoying it, the log became invisible.
If you dont watch this movie you're a fool! This is an awesome movie with fantastic one liners.. !!! The one about "get on with the Revolution" is so funny . ..
I loved when the guy said she was so -comfortable- comforting.
great movie thank you dont even notice the logo after a bit :]
Excellent film , worth the watch .
I'm writing my undergrad dissertation on the representation of Communism and the Soviet Union in British Cold War Cinema and this is one of the films I desperately needed to see. Thank you so, so, so much you've made my day! :D
Saw your post, can you recommend other films on this theme from your dissertation research? Thanks....
Yo! Sorry for not replying sooner, I didn't see the notification until now.
Erm... rather than specific films I can direct you to an academic source that's been like my Bible. Tony Shaw's British Cinema and the Cold War. I'm studying "I'm All Right Jack" (1959) and "Conspirator" (1949) alongside this one. :)
Well said Alex, I'm alright Jack is one of the best movies ever made, it tells of the mad unions and employers and the movies is directly in the middle with subject, object and the percieved pain involved. Cheers.
You're writing a dissertation on a movie of fiction? How accurate is that going to be?
@@jimclark6256 Accurate as to perceptions?
thoroughly enjoyed this well made classic. thank you for the upload. an ole south london boy here :)
It’s interesting to see that hundreds of people who think a point that has already been made in countless comments needs to be posted by them yet again.
Thank you for sharing - excellent movie - after a few minutes, I didn't notice the logo because the movie was intriguing!
Thank you for uploading a great film!
Very enjoyable period film. Thank you for posting. I'd suggest to those who got their skivvies in a knot over the dreaded logo, go watch the movie elsewhere.
excellent FILM REALLY ENJOYED IT SO MANY RECOGNISABLE FACES
Keep coming back to this film, thanks.
