Should I buy this without seeing it?

I've done this before and it's been a risky coin toss a few times. It's not like they play it on TCM (at least when I've watched) But I am a collector of influential movies...

YES!!! It's one of the best British films ever made!

Enjoy!

Absolutely. It's fantastic...

Did your coin-toss come up heads, by the way?

I've never read nor heard a bad word about this movie. Some people rag about the "Golf" segment, but I still like it, besides, it does play a part in the story. This is a first class film that has it all.

[–] Pamfino 16 years ago

Yes, some people do think that the 'Golf' segment is too much 'comic relief', but I love it as well. The pairing of the wonderful Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne was always a joy to watch (as in 'The Lady Vanishes').

I would recommend it - very nicely done, and of its time.
