Featured review
Good BFI restoration
A Martian is sent to Earth to cure a rich man called Horace of his selfish ways. In other words this is a sci fi variation of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol. I watched the excellent B.F.I restoration on the Talking Pictures channel. Needless to say, everything ends well. But one question that I found myself asking - how does a fat, bolding middle aged man get engaged to an attractive woman who looks young enough to be his daughter!? The answer I guess is obvious - his wealth. Some things haven't changed!
