No idea but I hated that segment. Those animals really did look dead. I hope they were only anaesthised. I like the one where Karen Black keeps saying 'Salt Lake, Salt Lake' and Charlton Heston is the hero. Not sure which one that is! (Charlton Heston - only actor named after two London suburbs.) Not much made sense about this film! I couldn't really understand it but liked the London locations and old cars. Definitely a 'B' movie! I agree, she was brilliant. I think it was Michael Caine when he was talking about his role in Educating Rita, he said that when acting a drunk you have to remember that most drunk people are trying to conceal it not show how inebriated they are. That is, not stumble around like a stage drunk. It was John Loder who is NOT American! So why he sounded it I have no idea. Best version was the Kenneth More one! Best version was the Kenneth More one! I want....large bread. These were films that Crowe actually directed. Not his favourite films by someone else. This film was quite boring and not a patch on the 50s film 'The Man Who Never Was'. I missed the Irish spy who came over to check up on the background of Major Martin. Callsign 'polar bear, polar bear.....' 'Descent' is the right word - Michael Caine descending into the hell of early 80s 'B' movies! He must have needed the money badly. By his own admission he made a few clunkers purely due to fear of going back to being poor or not being offered work ever again. This is a terrible film. I kept wanting to shout: 'Let it go for heaven's sake!' He was only making matters worse and beating up that gypsy boy didn't help. I guess he was tormented by his conscience. Yes, but Britain in 1954 was dull! I love this film. It's so gentle and undemanding. Too many calories! This is one of my absolute all-time favourite 50s films. I love it when John Stratton says to Jack H. "The Grange, sir" in that ironic voice. If you look at the hotel on Google Maps you can see the uneven patch of growth opposite where the garage would have been. Note the postbox! https://goo.gl/maps/RHhqF8PgygPcMJuR6 But he didn't kill a Danish man, did he? He killed Jules who he met in the sauna. And he was French. Thanks for the info. It's very like him but hardly likely to be M Caine who was already a star by that time, 1972. It could be his brother though! I think Hitchcock despised women in real life and enjoyed using his powers as a director to show them being terrified and abused. He left Grace Kelly alone because she was from a rich family and married into an even richer one. But Tippi Hedren was made miserable by this man.
