Impeccable...and well-chosen by Old Music. great production values: script, plot, lighting, sets, direction......and excellent camerawork....and amazing musical accompaniment by a real orchestra! Too old a film for you to watch? Forget that and immerse yourself in a real British thriller....which kept the War-weary audiences of the Forties on the edge of their cast-iron seats...with ash trays! Along the way, this film has humorous touches that you must catch...all relevant to task in hand! Standout actor?........Portman, for that.convincing face.
Four minutes in, and it's rich with human interest - the packed train, the holdup, the former bus conductor *who wasn't noticed* when punching tickets by his fellow passenger who's thinking of bring late for her appointment, and then the 'hard cut" to the very elegant back of a man who may or may not be her boyfriend, and camera follows him in a very long take: and we never see his face! So much, so soon. .
@@sohara.... Oh 'human'. I thought you wrote 'humour'. I went back and watched the beginning twice looking for all that humour as I must have missed it the first time around. After the carosel and the Paper man crying 'Another Strangler Murder' I stopped thinking that's far enough. There is no humour in the beginning. I;ll need you to point it out and say I can not find any of the humour you mentioned. LOL Good Comment.
What a clear, crisp picture quality, loved the movie, love Eric Portman.😊😊😊❤❤

Well done movie. Anything, that Eric Portman stars in is always good.
Excellent movie, great story and great acting.
18.05..priceless! " Why Not?" " I wouldn't say anything to a person's face that I would rather say behind their back!"
"I'd never say anything to a person's face that I wouldn't say behind their backs." lol Great Portman, Farr & Holloway movie.
Thanks
I'm German and I like their English so much.

Real acting , People had to learn well scripted lines. The films now are terrible.To much special affects .
I know the number 13 bus route well, from when I lived in Swiss Cottage.
Why the blurred sides….annoying.
Something to do with film photography. But I can not imagng you looking at both sides rather than how normal people look -looking at the main centre.
