Oh, Mr. Craig. Now that you've met us, I'm sure that you wouldn't dream of dreaming about us again.

DEAD OF NIGHT (1945) | dir. Alberto Cavalcanti, Charles Crichton, Basil Deardon and Robert Hamer

The Saint: The Inescapable Word (3.17, ITC, 1965)

"I can understand that you consider killing animals fairly unimportant, since you spend your working day devising more efficient means for killing people."

"That's the kind of remark one would expect from a cop. You know our weapons will never be used!"

"Then don't you feel a certain futility having spent your life making them?"

Nation and director Baker both had prior experience in sci fi work (Nation was presumably fully invested in exploiting his daleks by #this point) and there's more than a touch of horror to the misty forest scenes or underground lair. Nation would borrow liberally from his #own work here for a later episode of The Avengers (1969's Thingumajig) and the final scenes play out very similarly. what else? oh yes...#i may not be quite as biased as an unnamed mutual‚ but i can happily support m'learned friend in saying that James Maxwell is the absolute #best thing about this episode‚ as quite frankly the most pathetic (affectionate) head of security ever seen on 60s tv. he's sensitive and #nervous and does very little to aid in the investigation of a murder on his base except to get knocked out‚ worried‚ accused of the crime #and shot (oops spoiler sorry). i think he survives? it looks to be a shoulder wound and regardless of a lack of closure I'm choosing to #believe he did survive and immediately resigned his position‚ perhaps married Ann Bell‚ and started a group for people wrongly knocked out

Der kunstvoll verschachtelte endlose Alptraum mit übersinnlichen Geschichten von Leuten wie H. G Wells oder E. F. Benson Dead of Night stammt aus den Ealing-Studios und enthält deshalb auch eine alberne Geschichte mit Basil Radford und Naunton Wayne (außerdem die spätere Truly Scrumptious, Sally Ann Howes) ist abgesehen davon aber wirklich sehr unheimlich.
