I really like it. I watched it years ago and it was hard to find but it's easy to find a copy today. The makers ran out of colour film stock at the third reel and so they used black and white.

Re: Scene from The Future is Unwritten
Thanks I'll look for it. I noticed some scenes in color was wondering what that was about. Its funny how stuff like that was such a finite resource at one point.Marky Dread wrote: ↑06 Apr 2020, 10:01amI really like it.

"If" is a great film. Left a big impression on me as a youngster.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Scene from The Future is Unwritten
Sort of, impressionistically. Malcolm McDowell’s character has the same name (Mick Travis) but doesn’t necessarily share the same past. Also, O! Lucky Man was Helen Mirren’s first film. Great song score from Alan Price.
