@Jinter67 That was always Will Hay's position in his films but he usually got a comeback from others. The best one I remember in the film Convict 99 was when he came home with a bag of sweets. "Guess what I got?" he said and a very young Roddy McDowell (maybe about 5) quipped "Six years!"
Why oh why did this dear man and brilliant comic have to die!! If ever someone should be immortal its Will Hay ..I love his films and I hope I meet him in the next world.. A true comic genius..All the good comments this film gets it just goes to show its one of the best ever ..Thank You....
I am 30 lol I have the set of Will hay its funny as hell another good black and white set is "old Mother Riley" I have and also George Formby that is so funny the TT Races one that is the best
Whatch the sequence I mention and decide for your self.Even the voice has been copied.I could be wrong but I dont think so.Fantastic,atmospheric film though, either way.
For my money one of the greatest films ever made.If you ever wondered where Spike Milligan got his famous Goon Show catchphrase,"He's fallen in the water", watch the film further on when Harbottle falls off the windmill into a pond.Milligan was a big Hay fan.Its too much of a coincidence.Brilliant stuff!
Oh Mr Porter is brilliant, and pretty near the knuckle sometimes, especially when he speaks to the signalman who asks if he can put his signals up to which Porter replies Yes if it will give you any pleasure!
Next Train Gone and Playing with the Pixies - so cool!! My uncle used to frequent Graham Moffatt's pub - famous for short changing his customers! Probably needed the money after the pittance that Will Hay paid him and Moore Marriott!!
And to think this movie is now 70 years old. And people still love Will Hay and his companions. Unbeatable, in my opinion. Will was, is and always will be a comedy legend.
I know the station used is actually ciddesden station but in the later scenes, is that on the Basingstoke to Alton line as well?

@SlashLesPaul321 Good for you! One of the best B & W films ever made. Have a look at The Ghost Train as well, very similar, great scenes.

i thought it was because when spike was little, he and a friend used to jump in a swimmingpool and thats where the catchphrase came from.
01276 3 years ago
i agree with the greatest film ever, but you are wrong about spike, 01276 is correct.

One of my favourite films ever. Way before my time but I love this one. Makes me chuckle no matter how many times I've seen it.
This popular format of three generations on their escapades was where 'Only Fools & Horses' came from.
Nobody does it better than Hay, Marriott & Moffatt though. Nobody else comes close.
