Excellent film - but then it is based on a play by a rather well known English playwright! But then Ann Francis running about in a very short skirt for the '50s helps as well! :D

Another superb Ealing comedy. There's not a wasted word anywhere.

Loved the retro look to the set design, reminded me of Silent Running in a lot of ways.
Look out for his next picture after Moon "Source Code" which is also great.

His latest is in post production, a World of Warcraft movie.

I saw Source Code and enjoyed it.

Yesterdays Enterprise - STNG on the Sci fi Channel (now)

An accidental set of events throws the Enterprise C 22 years into the future, altering the time line. They meet the Enterprise D which is now embroiled in a war that should not have happened. The Enterprise C must go back but all will die if they do that. A fine episode of The Next Generation and along with The Inner Light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inn...xt_Generation) one of my favourite stories from that series.

That's the one where Tasha Yar coems back if I recall correctly. Yes not a bad one although given there are what 5 seasons with twenty-odd episodes each there are precious few good ones.

That's the one. The Enterprise C, answered a distress call from a Klingon outpost under Romulan attack, suffered severe damage and ended up 22 years in the future, where the Federation is at war with the Klingons, a war that would more than likely not have happened if the Enterprise C had made more of a difference in the past.

Wonderful story, good acting and its a shame Paramount did nothing with the characters from the Enterprise C, particularly Rachel Garrett, played by Tricia O'Neil
