    Perfect for a rainy day!

    Maybe I'm showing my age but I remember watching this on TV as a kid on a rainy Sunday afternoon with a quarter pound of sweets to munch (American Hard Gums!) and my Mum and Dad snoring in their armchairs after Sunday lunch!

    I love creeky old black and white films and Alec Guiness taking on all the lead roles in this one impressed me no end in my childhood and even more so now I'm old enough to appreciate the complexity of what was accomplished.
