Quote from: derek stitt on February 12, 2024, 04:27:21 PMReally have a soft spot for Will Hay films, some rare family harmony time watching them on a Friday night on BBC 2 back in the day. Really am fond of 'The Ghost of St Michaels' and even the end credits using the same sort of typeface  as on the Arbeit Mach Frei sign at Auschwitz can't put me off liking the film. On a less miserable note, can anybody use mathematics to determine the speed of a car by counting street lights? Will Hay says it's possible in a few of his films.

Aye, similar lovely memories. Do they ever show B&W films on regular telly anymore? It feels like a shared thing for people of my generation, like the Rathbone Holmes films.

I just finished watching The Ghost of St Michael's last night.  It's quite odd how he and his fellow lead break the fourth wall at the end.
