Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe film's U.S. distributor thought that it was too long; therefore, two of the five segments, "Christmas Party" and "Golfing Story", were both cut. This confused U.S. audiences, who could not understand at all what Michael Allen from "Christmas Party" was doing in the nightmare montage at the end of it. The two segments have since been restored to all U.S. releases of the film.
- PatzerAs Peter Cortland stands looking into the mirror his wife-to-be has bought him, the stripes on his tie run from his left side down to his right. A reverse shot shows the stripes on his tie running in the same direction; obviously, this is not a mirror image.
- Zitate
Hearse Driver: Just room for one inside, sir.
- Alternative VersionenThe original UK version of this film was 105 minutes long and had five segments in it ("Hearse Driver", "Christmas Party", "Haunted Mirror", "Golfing Story" and "Ventriloquist's Dummy"). When it was originally released in the U.S., two of the five segments ("Christmas Party" and "Golfing Story") were cut to shorten it to 77 minutes because the distributor though that it was too long. Later re-releases of it in the U.S., such as the TV version and all of its home video releases, restored the two missing segments to their proper places in it.

Ausgewählte Rezension
For years I've wondered if I really saw a movie that served as the source for innumerable childhood dreams and fears. I tried telling folks about seeing this British film on TV in the 1960s, but it was so jumbled in my memory that I really couldn't describe it properly. I knew it led to a lifelong dread of ventriloquist dummies, but I couldn't figure out how that tied to an architect at a country house party.
For no apparent reason today I put "ventriloquist movie" into yahoo and skimmed down to Dead of Night - British 1945. At long last I knew that I hadn't imagined the whole thing - and boy am I relieved! I'm also delighted to find that I've been "haunted" by a classic of the genre that has had a big impact on so many others.
I'm looking forward to ordering it and watching it again.
