[NurmaBP]

1941? WW II started in 1939 wasn't ? Whoa, they still made a movie in war.. i thought 1941 was one of most horrible years of WW II. The fact that they still able to made a movie, maybe the war ran slow in WW II early years, well, at least in British. Especially that 'Heil Hitler' joke with the bird, i wonder how the audience reacted about it in that time. Interesting.

I like this movie :) Seeing people in different era always amaze me. Luv it! ^^v

ΞΕΡΕΙ ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΠΟΥ ΜΠΟΡΩ ΝΑ ΒΡΩ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟΥΣ ΥΠΟΤΙΤΛΟΥΣ ΓΙΑ ΑΥΤΗ ΤΗΝ ΤΑΙΝΙΑ? ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ.

.

[radiofiendify]

I'm not entirely sure how this film would be officially classified, but I would say that it was a 'mystery-comedy.'

[auritone]

Knew the Danish version of this from '76.

So nice to finally see the original.

Thank you for the upload.

[ulasulasma]

i love this kind of old movies

[gmaureen]

I happen to like the old vaudeville humor so I find Arthur Askey delightful. I also think movies of the 30s and 40s were the best ever made. The amount of talent and originality in that time period was just incredible.

[hydrixhaulin]

1:06:49 is the wtf part

[kcanderse]

1940s Scooby Doo. Great film. 

[kellina84]

Peter Murray-Hill was so handsome in this ;P

[kellina84]

i LOVE these old movies!! thanks to whoever posted them, i am in your debt!! lol

[morgylyn]

think about it folks Askey is as irritating as hell in the movie,exactly what he was su

Think about it folks,Askey is supposed to be iritating the hell out of his fellow passengers,and he does it very well, it's called acting.

[surryhouse]

@LuckyStrike502, EXECELLENT FILM! My compliments to you for a terrific film. Thanks also for uploading it in its entirety. It is always a plus, when you don"t have to look for the next part. Suspenseful as well as humorous. Truly enjoyed. I recommend it to all that like a little silly with their fear.

[randomdude61]

That was kinda sketchy

[Trancelotics]

I'm going to express a minority opinion. Askey's humour didn't make me laugh out loud, but most comedians rarely do that to me. Instead, I found his jokes amusing - a kind of humour that's fun to listen to even if it doesn't produce a hearty laugh. Overall, the film is a pleasant thing to watch which I'll certainly play many times over in the future.

[stingray4real]

The script was written by Arnold Ridley who played Private Godfrey in Dad's Army

[ovemunk]

@stingray4real "May i be excused sir"? :-D Godfrrey is one of my favourite caracters in Dads Army and he was a brilliant writer too. He wrote more than 30 plays for the Theatre but this one is probably his best known.

[Trancelotics]

Thank you very much for uploading this. I've just come out of my teen years, but I watched this as a child and I'm so glad that I can watch it again now. A delightful film.

[PazBinv1]

I was looking forward to seeing this having recently enjoyed the BBC Radio version. Arthur Askey heading up the cast is a terrible blow. I can't believe audiences ever found him funny.

[peekaboots01]

That little guy sux!

[subtyper]

True comedy no violence swearing or racism or sexism just honest funny people

[radiofiendify]

@subtyper Well at 0:16:51 the glasses line does say a rather risque line that could certainly be interpreted as offensive, although I'm not sure if it is overtly so:

"Can you say Heil Hitler?"

"No, not with a beak like that."

[darkmaster4877]

@leeraeal no i am watching this in 1941

[Johnnyboy665]

This movie was on TV a lot with Will Hay's Oh Mr Porter when I was a kid, fond memories.

[TXGTR]

Although Arthur Askey was a cheerful chap, I thought I was the odd one out, thinking he wasn't as funny as other people thought he was. The posts here now seem to form the same opinion as me and he wan't that funny, but during the war years he managed to keep the population amused and cheerful.

[AlanRM1000]

@TXGTR I think he was like Marmite - you either loved him or hated him. I worked at the BBC Paris Studio (Lower Regent Street London p- not France) where many Light Entertainment shows were recorded before a studio audience, and saw him several times. Like Spike Milligan he had a habit of taking over the show (usually panel games) and trying to upstage everyone else taking part.

Mind you he died ion tragic circumstances, having had to have both legs amputated not long before his death.

[MuseDuCafe]

Cliche, formulaic, perfectly cast (imho) and just wonderful. Thanks.

[BigDon62]

On ya Arthur...Hello Playmates ! Oh Truro not much has changed in those parts....

[radar1974]

I ADORE this movie, and have a soft spot for Arthur Askey, but I'd really like to see it made without him. I only say that because I've now seen Ghost Train three different times on the stage (it's original form) and think it has a much stronger story than this version (which was specially adapted for Askey). Not putting this version down, I said I love it, but would love to see it done again without Askey, and sticking closer to the original stage script.

[thenoobzors]

1941 lol....

[PEOM10]

great film for a sunday night, loved it

[Avene13]

This is indeed lovely. Everyone should first learn to appreciate classics and British classics first in order to talk and judge cinema. How can one even say anything bad about Askey when by nowadays there has been loads and loads of idiotic peanut-brained self-acclaimed comedians i.e. Sacha Baron Cohen, who are far from the term ' funny' or 'entertaining'.

[surryhouse]

@Avene13 , I for one enjoyed Askey's humor. I understood it. I'm not British, so I don't always get their humor. Hate to admit I usually do not enjoy British films. The more I watch though the more I find that I am enjoying them. I thought this was an excellent film, most entertaining.

[tallandhandsome29]

It's more than irritating to read the disrespectful comments relating to Arthur Askey. Admittedly his humour has not lasted too well over the intervening years but he and his ilk, other performers of the day such as George Formby and Will Hay, kept British people amused through some pretty horrible times- bombs droppping on communities of ordinary people and loved ones beng slaughtered far away- and I think he did a sterling job. He certainly earned his fee for this film.

[mikelheron20]

@tallandhandsome29 Plenty of people found Arthur Askey irritating and unfunny at the time. My mother couldnt stand him. Watching this movie I can see why. The film could well do without him.

[surryhouse]

@mikelheron20 , I have to admit that I found Arthur Askey humor quite funny. I for one do not always enjoy British humor. Sometimes I guess I just dont get the joke. It just goes over my head. Then again I'm not British. I found this to be most entertaining. Excellent movie.

[johnnyfive222]

@tallandhandsome29

I respected him for his acting and what he did for that time. How ever I just wished that this movie was more straight up horror film. It would have been much better with out him. Even though he is a great actor. I just felt the comedy was out of place and ruined most of the scary aspects of the film. It's still a good film and i love it. Just could have been better if not for the comedy

[ASITSECRETS]

Mmmmmm...;-)

[leerleal999]

thumbs up if you are watching this in 2011 :)

[BeakyRed]

@leerleal999 im watching this in 2012 :)

[STIMULUS80A]

@leerleal999 2012 actually

[crazyracer12]

@leerleal999 Apologies, but I shall have to thumbs you down on that one, due to the fact that I am simply not a time traveller, and I believe the year is now "Twenty-Twelve".

Thank you.

[dummyspitter]

@leerleal999 2012

[somewon2000]

@leerleal999 What about in 2012.

[MGSTutorials]

@somewon2000 What about in 2075.

[TheZempa]

@MGSTutorials What about in 2187?

[nawmmbr]

I watch this almost everyday! It's hilarious! My kids like it too! "Ya, con't stay Yerr!" "Where do it come from? Where do it gooo?"

[pennyfish89]

the guy who throw the "Radio" is not gentlemen AT ALL !

[7754349200]

Also like Will Hay movies

[7754349200]

I liked "King Arthur Was A Gentleman" " Miss London Ltd" , and the one on top of the BBC and Backroom Boys more than this on, but it is also good, I just like total comedies more

[wwaa1992]

Hey read dont laugh at this! Just do it. Start thinking of something you really really want. Because this is astounding. The person who sent this said their wish came true after 10 minutes after they read the mail so I thought what the heck! You have been visited by Dr Suesss cat in the hat, he will grant you with one wish make your wish when the countdown is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH! If you send this to 10 videos within the hour your wish will come true

[DaveOneBath]

Written by Arnold Ridley (Dads Army) Starring Arthur Askey and filmed at Monkton Combe station (no longer exists closed in 1966) in 1941. Arnold Ridley said he was inspired to write this play when standing on the platform in Mangotsfield near Bristol. Monkton Combe station also hosted the filming of The Titsfield Thunderbolt and Kate Plus 10 (Googie Withers)

[epiphone4life]

Fantastic

[cyberdazed]

That guy wasn't a comedian, he was an annoying fart that i wanted to see get shot. He was just demanding attention and going about it in the stupidest way

[tavis5500]

@cyberdazed umm actually he was a comedian

[xMachineGhostsx]

are you saying he was the onision of the 40s LOL sigh!!!!!!

[jamesnadam]

love the song @ 30 mins !

[PoetryETrain]

NIce, we have addd this to our playlist here and on facebook, thank you.

[MrBroche66]

Old british comedy rocks

[eoghanoe]

what an annoying creep

[DavidDietzII]

@eoghanoe my words exactly...they should've left his ass on the track with his ugly hat.

[mekydro]

The opening credits sequence is filmed from the back of a moving train, then played in reverse. The signals give it away - it is filmed between Basingstoke and Woking on the LSWR (Southern Railway) main line. Those old pneumatic signals lasted until the 1960s

[rbbonotto]

In the last two months, a number of the British comics Arhur Askey and Will Hay's movies have been put on YouTube. The next Askey/Murdoch film you might want to watch is "Band Waggon" --based on their prewar radio show. Will Hay's best known film is "Oh Mr Porter" but to my mind his last film is his best, "My Learned Friend."

[locouk]

Great film, just love them oldies.. They're the best! Thanks for uploading.

[jezepic]

i recently found this railway station in Ironbridge ;-) brought back memories of this film as a kid

[pele6922]

to think Askey is 41 in this film....does he look 41?!

[pele6922]

I love the old movies but I think I have cancer from the second hand smoke..cough.

[kevinjconroy]

these old movies have an atmosphere which more recent movies, with all their advantages, can never create. i agree, i don't listen to what other people have to say, i liked it.....i even found myself laughing at the silly jokes once or twice....a good film.

[cjwaywell]

My Son Mark loved this film when he was growing up it gave him years of pleasure and he still likes it now even though he's in his 30's..... they don't make them like this any more....brilliant

[Darrigrande]

I find the film very interesting und hilarius! I love british humor either!

[MichaelAuthorAllAges]

"Its Nyo gooood, I caaaaahn't come back, you know I caaaaahn't!"

Love the diction! 

[MichaelAuthorAllAges]

How charming. Ty for posting! :)

[finnhobs]

This sucked.

You have to go on iTunes to the podcast" tales of horror" and listen to a radio production of it there. It is so good!

[mekydro]

Arnold Ridley wrote this story (Pte Godfrey in Dad's Army). Great stuff

[Tonithenightowl]

My goodness you had to love the diction, you can tell they did theatre and vaudeville no doubt. Nothing like black and white film for crispness. What a nice surprise to find this film.

[justlokng]

classic british ghost comedy farce !! silly but fun !!! thanks for sharing !!!

[Resholden]

The guy with glasses was the late Arthur Askey - not everyone's cup of tea, but he had his moments!

[davidrubiomartin]

@Resholden yeah and they were all crappy

[chrisjc2007]

I thought the guy with glasses was hilarous. He was annoying but it was in the way he did it that made me laugh. The old british humour today seems really unfunny but when you think back in them days this would have been a howl, "I wonder if I can get you to talk? Can you say heil Hitler?" That is still funny today due to the time period it was in. My fav character has to be the good british guy who is like an agent or sumin. The blonde girl who they all fancy is nice looking too.

[TheWingedunicorn]

It wasn't until they were at station house that I remembered I saw this as a young girl on the Sunday Comedy Classics. I love this. Thank you for sharing.

[thelegendzlda]

@lolzdude152 yes british accents DO RULE!!!! I CALL MYSELF A BRIT I LOVE THEIR ACCENT SO MUCH!! :)

[Jamie131970]

I understand what some of you are saying about "The short guy with the glasses" but you gotta understand what was seen as funny then is maybe not so funny now, and he was a very famous and celebrated comedian called Arthur Askey, mega huge in his day. So he mst have made plenty of folk laugh back then.

[barneyboscoe]

@Jamie131970 People were easily pleased then,they had to be with crap like Askey hogging the airwaves.

[terranova210486]

I only saw this once on the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Channel) but I thought it was good.

Thanks for putting it up!

[reva12]

Is it possible to close caption or subtitle this movie?

Thanks.

[bettypro]

loved it !!! fell asleep thru the first one, but rewatched it and loved it.

[illuminatioracle]

an aerith gainsborough production.

[captainkmanOFP857]

The Castle at 3:07 had the short-lived bullet-nose and streamlining! That must be a rare clip! I have a book that says pictures of them were rare. (The GWR had 2 such locos)

Great movie! I also like British humor, like Mr Bean and The Titfield Thunderbolt.

[Kan2209]

KNoBs!

[survivor1099]

The guy with the glases sacrifices himself and therefore lets the others behave with more dignity...think about it.

[lordp0rnstar]

Enjoyable!!

[briancartledge]

good movie

[Liebling05]

Aww you guys are mean. The little guy in glasses is adorable! Granted, in moderation :)

[knausspiano]

My kids used to love this years ago! Arthur Askey (small guy with glasses) was a highly energetic British entertainer born Liverpool who sang, acted etc. Too much of him can drive you crazy though. He ended up having both legs amputated.

[barneyboscoe]

@knausspiano and it still didn't shut him up??.

[webboffin]

6:20 the lady confirms either as in i-ther before the two men have a argument about either being pronounced eether or i-ther a few moments later. in 6:31 so the man standing up in this scenerio is the minority.

[keithypoo31]

My grandfather saw this as a play in the states and loved it. Thank god that piece of shit in the glasses wasn't in the play. RIP Grampa.

[keithypoo31]

Let me say this: that guy with the glasses is the worst, very, very, very unfunny. One more thing about the film. That guy with the glasses should have neen on a train,,,, but a train to Berkonow, poland ,haha, i'm funny.

[AudreyH100]

Good movie. The short guy in the glasses is very annoying.

[whogoderetedigo52]

Thank you for uploading this movie. Always wanted to see it. Thanks again.

[webboffin]

53:54 look penises!

[webboffin]

43:27 looking at him (you sad little git)

[webboffin]

39:00 Oh I don't want to.

[webboffin]

If it be a natural thing, where does it come from; where does it go?

[kellina84]

i enjoyed this movie but that comedian was so fucking annoying. i almost stopped watching it

[tatazike]

It's good but..

not for me ..

[ChorltonBrook]

At 16:54 ''Not with a beak like that''. Do you think he's alluding to a Jewish nose? Seems odd.

[yeovil50]

I remember this film as a child - It scared the hell out of me - come on I was only eight years old:). I also loved it because the film is set in Cornwall and being a west country lad I loved hearing the accents I heard generally everyday.

[vegeteriancannibal]

Thumb this up or I'll tell the ending :D

[ChorltonBrook]

@vegeteriancannibal I notice your user-name. Do you know that there are veggie cannibals in India. Down river from Varanassi (where they place the dead in the Ganges), there's a sect of Kali Babas who eat dead bodies from the river. They think it has no bad consequences (kama wise?) cos they're not killing anything.

[vegeteriancannibal]

@ChorltonBrook Ya I know, they eat the dead with a belief that doing so will give them more power and authority in the universe as they will be able to command over the deads' soul. Weird, i know.

[ffcbulldog666]

The woman at 1:06:00. She would have to be the ultimate train spotter.

[bluedoris88]

sadly, the english accent of 1941 is rare today. however this

was 'acting school ' diction. nice though, quaint' geoff. London

[SuperRocker671]

ooooooooo haunted train yeah sure.

[jsimone1320]

70 years ago wow and still good movies are much better then than now

[ultimatemegadeath]

is "The Crimson Ghost" Public Domain? cause man i would love to see that!

[ChorltonBrook]

@ultimatemegadeath Someone's put 'The Crimson Ghost ' on Veoh.com. Just Google the title and you'll find it : )

[ginny56ful]

I love to watching on the movie old films, really good! better than today has been stink, not nice nasty!

[latourettebb]

Wow that was great!! I didn't know u could find these oldies on YouTube! Thx!!

[ignoredyoualready]

I liked this movie, it took a while to get into the characters but it was quite good in the end and definitely worth checking out.

Thanks

[naughtynaez]

i LOVE OLD MOVIES. lol At the compartment bit with the girl on the train.

[beingatliberty]

The actor Peter Murray-Hill here playing R G Winthrop must be richard E Grants absent father surely ? the accental similarty is obscenely obvious, but im guessing there must have been be a cadre of clear english speakers like this in the 1940's

[minamu8]

I sure hope "Citizen Kane" makes it to the public domain.

[ChorltonBrook]

@minamu8 look 12 items down on the suggestions list on the right : )

@minamu8 Meanwhile you can recorded it from TCM ! 

[lolzdude152]

I dont really care what other people think about this movie, but I thought it was quite good. Im a fan of British humor so I laughed at most of the jokes. by the way..... British accents RULE!!!

[fleadle34]

@lolzdude152 I am glad to hear you like the British sense of humor and you enjoy our accents .

You might like to visit our channel ?

These films are great I love the old ones !

[Lazarus0357]

@lolzdude152 Just what do you mean "British accents rule"? Are there any others? The rest is just lingo, man!

[dirtydonki]

The film does have some interesting historical features but as a comedy it really is pretty dated and Arthur Askey wasn't everybody's cup of tea.

Interestingly the word "Gercha" was resurrected in the 70's by Chaz & Dave. It's an old London Cockney slang exclamation of disbelief or a mild threat.

[amycallie123]

Boy, the guy really does like to stop the train to get his hat. I tape this movie. Everybody seems don't like him. The guy is so funny how he gotten everybody some matches instead of candies. I think this guy was being rude to the other guys. All they wented to stay with the girl.

[9876543217303]

This is one of strangest movies I have seen. I'm a huge old and vintage movie buff, but haven't seen many British movies of this time period. I watched this several months ago and forgot to say that I stumbled upon this and really enjoyed it; plus it had me on the edge of my seat. And I think it was around Holloween too :O. Nice and thanks!

[amycallie123]

Wow my dad was born in 1940 and this movie was made in 1941 so that means he was 1 month year old. But I feel bad the guy was trying to cheer up the people with a song.

[monxanderlu]

@amycallie123 1 year not 1 month old he he he...

[amycallie123]

@monxanderlu Excuse me I think you got yourself wrong. I got it right he was 1 years old. I was saying he was 1 month a year old. hehehehehehehehelololololololo­lolololololololololo

[monxanderlu]

@amycallie123 whatEver..

[anythingnew]

Things I don't understand - Why did the lady faint when she saw the train if the train was "you know what"

[anythingnew]

0:53:37 FAIL

[anythingnew]

When the guard said 97, he talkin 1897 LOL

[anythingnew]

People in the past have different accent than we do today..... Anyone notice?
