The Film Makers Tale
2 of 2 found this helpful On the face of it the film is about three people travelling to Canterbury during the second world war and solving a minor mystery. But the heart of the film I think is more about the skills and practices handed down over generations and contrasting this with the changes in social attitude, for example deferrence, that the second world war and the first world war brought about. Indeed the heroine in the film is independent and quite forceful but still retains her femininity.
The film seems to be saying that there is a value in the older ways and attitudes but also has a desire to return to an older "golden" age and this view is wistfully but also bitterley portrayed by one of the characters.
The acting is awkward at times as some of the participants are obviously local people who have been drafted in, maybe for convenience, but this doesn't detract from the film and at this distance in time only adds charm and authenticity.
Overall this is an intriguing and unusual film which shows the mythical england of streams and meadows in the summer sunshine but still has a yearning for the time of merry old england. The film is full of hope and optimism for the future but not necessarily redemption.

Watchable hokum
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this because Vincent Price is part of the cast although he only plays a small part.
The film appears to have had a budget of about £100 including processing at the local photo shop. The story is ludicrous but just about falls into the so bad it's worth watching category.
No problem with Vincent Price who is always value for money but don't buy it as a V. Price movie as he has very little screen time.
The tag line "Someone dies when it flies" is only half true as the film certainly died but didn't fly, although you may flee when you see.
