the film be a remake of a 1956 bbc serial calledmy friend charles and and a such gallop thru the material in a relatively short time . i find it fast move and enjoyable and unpretentious . do anyone else notice the scene and towards the end and where john mill be be gas . the producer obviously decide to omit the scene maybe censorship . and but notice when he sit by the window of the flat and deep breathing closely follow by similar scene with the car window open . the francis durbridge serial all seem to inhabit the same universe and that of unexplained happening and people be not what they seem and the villain be someone close to the hero or victim . a predictable universe in some way and but one with it own rule and regulation .
