Reviews

Another in the series from Australia of double feature British classics. Picture quality is about 9/10 and sound 10/10 but the slight signs of age on the prints is nothing compared with being able to get the old long overlooked classic on DVD. The better of these two offerings is the Ealing film, "The Night My Number Came Up", which tells the story of a missing passenger plane and of the man who says that he dreamed about the accident and its outcome. "Once Upon A Dream" is a somewhat fluffy romantic fantasy about a woman who dream that a soldier friend of her husband makes a pass at her and on waking, is convinced that it really happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Night my Number Came Up 13 April 2010
By Cynthia Morgan
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of those films that once you have seen it, you don't forget it. I was a teenager when it was released in 1955 but I found it just as intriguing today as I did then. I had been searching for this film for years and am delighted that it made it to DVD and that Amazon decided to stock it. Many of the actors were stars of the day, Michael Hordern, Michael Redgrave, Alexander Knox, Nigel Stock, Denmholm Elliot, even a cameo of Alfie Bass, and more. The film centres around a dream, and as the film progresses, each part of the dream begins to manifest itself. The film itself is a lovely piece of nostalgia - I hadn't realised a Dakota was so noisy! Thoroughly recommended to film buffs everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOP FLIGHT 6 Aug 2010
By THUNDERCHIEF
Format:DVD
Well, this film is excellent and not to be missed by anyone who is enthusiastic about aircraft and top notch British actors. A great story that in fact, would appeal to many. I'd add that any movie featuring Victor Maddern is invariably worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grail territory 16 Oct 2010
By Zepfan
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This wonderful black n' white film pulls no punches and will have all of a certain age gripping the arms of your seat in a buttock-clenching white knuckle ride as you are plunged into the terror of premonition made flesh... If you are afraid of flying then this is definately not for you....
Long awaited; lovers of 'Dead of Night' will find this classic Britflick too good too miss.
If only I could find the british b&w portmanteau film where a man sees a painting in a gallery with a light in the window..now that would be real horrorshow.

4.0 out of 5 stars not a classic but unusual
We have seen many disaster movies but not with these particular series of events.Not a classic but worth watching if you enjoy the old Twilight Zone on t.v.
