The Boy Who Turned Yellow (1972 Michael Powell)

The first film since the very early days their job titles are split - Pressburger wrote an original story called 'The Wife of Father Christmas' and it's pretty peculiar, though the target market loved it. I like the threatened Tower of London beheading, and the fact that when asked what 'extraterrestrial' means, the father makes the boy Mark Dightam break the word down to understand it, rather than just telling him. Robert Eddison is the walking hazard light and it's shot by Chris Challis for the Children's Film Foundation. Powell's dog Johnson features.
