Loved that the jury is comprised of nationalities who have all fallen foul of the British at some point or another.
It's still a staggering and truly original piece of work.
P&P's heaven looks a clinical and dull place, but at least flirting is still allowed.
Future P&P editor John Seabourne has the credit for 'Liaison Editor'.
LOVE the music. Allan Gray (Joseph Zmigrod) studied under Shönberg. He scored the 1931 Emil and the Detectives, then The Silver Fleet followed by Blimp, A Canterbury Tale and IKWIG, this, then wrote the ballet for The Red Shoes and P&P hated it and replaced him; later composed The African Queen.
I was wondering if Niven was easier to direct post-war as he was used to being ordered around? He led a commando squadron and never spoke about his service. If there's extra steel in his character as a result of the war, it's not in evidence here, where he's just damned charming!
