Customer Reviews

A sultry Janet Munro makes for a good story.

The story starts with an orange filter. Then we plunge into a long flashback. Strange things have been happening to the world, weather-wise, that is. However, newspaper reporter Peter Stenning (Edward Judd) is too wrapped up in his problems to notice this and wishes he were wrapped up in Jeannie Craig (Janet Munro), a Ministry switchboard operator who overhears a menacing secret. Bill Maguire (Leo McKern), in the process of hiring Jenny for the newspaper’s archives, has a warning for her: Bill,” By the way, I'd better warn you about some of these newsroom characters." Jeannie,” I'm a big girl now." Bill.” That's what I mean." Things start to heat up as the cat is let out of the bag. Looks like there is going to be a hot time on the old town tonight. If you removed the stock footage, this movie could easily be a stage play. If you see the British version, Munro is missing her towel. The almost absence of background music is quite refreshing. Look closely, and you will see Michael Caine ... Policeman (uncredited). ========== DVD Extras: Trailer (what's something missing from the U.S. version?)
