First, Wolf Mankowitz could write. Just about the worst thing he ever wrote was "a kid for two farthings" and that was pretty good. This was the best thing he ever wrote.
Second, both Alfie Bass and David Kossoff acted brilliantly and must have been cast by a genius.
Third, the Director also knew what he was about. He shot the film straight down the middle and didn't waste a frame.
I suppose I must have seen it for the one and only time getting on for fifty years ago. I still remember some of the lines - "Flying jackets? In these jackets you can fly?" - and the ghost of Fender refusing to walk through the wall because he "felt silly".
Didn't somebody get nominated for an Oscar?
