Just imagine telling a great story without people screaming at each other; no gun shots; and no car chases. I guess good writers do not need those fake action crutches.
💖 ~ 🎯 Sadly, Hollywood is overrun with bad writers, actors, directors, & producers ... & they DO need those fake action crutches & all the rest that they contaminate the silver screen with, which is why I stopped going to cinema movies a long time ago; along with China's BlueSuitz' involvement. Nothing compares to these cool black & whites.

If you wish for peace, prepare for war. 💖
Yep. When dialogue mattered.
No phones, no drugs, polite language, well dressed, ...
Or gratuitous sex, vulgar language
Yes, suspenseful little plot. I appreciate these older films❤
I just have always loved David Niven. If I see a film and he is in it I watch it. Never disappointed.
I think the world is a little emptier with out David Niven.
Good Night David.
Couldn't agree more.
For all the admirers of David Niven I would recommend "Separate Tables" (1958). In that film he gave his finest performance, for which he was deservedly awarded an Oscar. As the English used to say "he was a wonderful chap". RIP, David and thanks for the memories.
Separate Tables was wonderful.
@@BrianRPaterson That's right Brian. Even the musical theme ("Separate Tales") sung by the great Vic Damone is magnificent. I consider it one of the 10 finest films ever made.
Charming and handsome
Sad his wife died playing
Foolish games with lights
Off!
This was a really great episode. David Niven, not just a class actor but a real life war hero.
He was indeed a war hero, as millions of others were.
What do you mean a war hero?
@@scronx You could always google it, I suppose.
@@scronx read his books.
@@justthink5854I have -- they're frivolous.
Perfect English, decently dressed actors and actress, no profanity and yet, captivating.
When 4 Star TV started, it was a brave step for the founders Niven, Powell, Lupino and Boyer. It was defying the power of the movie studios, who wanted to stop TV from getting traction.
His autobiographies are laugh til you cry and weep at the sadness. The Moons a Balloon and Bring on the Empty Horses. They read as smooth as his charm, wit and humour.
Everything - absolutely everything - with David Niven is always worth watching.
Check out "A matter of life and death" aka "Stairway to Heaven." Superb movie... (made in the 1940s but you'd swear it was much more recent than that).
One of my top three films!
@@JehanineMelmoth Great minds think alike...
I really wish there were more helpful ghosts like these ; a great many more mysteries would be solved in our world. David Niven had that unique look that projected a feeling of being helpful and helpless at the same time . Loved it.
Marty Hopkirk was the best.
Yes me too
David Niven, always a class act.
David Niven, great actor, and a lovely gentleman
Enjoyed seeing David Niven again, Alan Napier TV's "Alfred the Butler" from Batman (1966) was a bonus!
Alan Napier also appeared in some Alfred Hitchcock Presents tv episodes in the 1950's.
Thanks. I was trying to remember that face.
I was thinking Michael Rennie, but I knew that was wrong.
Alan Napier, of course.
Well that was an interesting diversion for a Sunday afternoon. David Niven, always the consummate British gentleman.
I really enjoyed that. David Niven so classy.
Thank you for screening this episode. Great to see David Niven in his prime - a wonderful actor of his time! He very much reminds me of my father, both of whom are much missed.
Very fortunate to have a father anything like David Niven, he was such a gentleman
@@myriaddsystems Indeed, he was a jolly decent chap.
pretty awesome performance, great quality classic with David Niven.
Really good. I've never seen it before in my 71 years. ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this TV film. They don't make like that anymore.
David Niven. Class Act. At his very best 😅
I miss and adore old black and white movies.
Thankyou ❤❤❤
David Niven class actor, I enjoyed that movie!
A realgood filmed story. David Niven really controls the tone and mood. He knew how to speak in a way that kept matters light, yet dramatic.
Another very good David Niven performance in a 4 star playhouse is series 1 episode 13
The episode is called "No Identity".
Thank you for that information. I will do some research about the program. 😊
Always lovely to see David Niven! Many thanks.
Well those were the days, David Niven a great actor, when there were decent movies. Really enjoyed.
Niven top shelf .
I adored David Niven.
Thank You, I enjoyed this very much ! I love the old times when blood and guts were not thrown all over the screen or filth, to tell the story, just Great actors and actresses!
David Niven. Thank you for this movie. Enjoyed it.
When television still contained style and class.
I really enjoyed this video which I have never seen before with the great David Niven one of my favourite actors. Thanks for sharing this.
An enjoyable little short with David Niven and Alan Napier now famous for playing Alfred from Batman but had many screen credits before this and also a few afterwards.
Glad to find this by
chance. David Niven
was always good.

ANOTHER GREAT ONE! THANKS PIZZA FLIX!!
Thank You PizzaFlix.🌹
Really Good.
God Bless.❤️🙌
Two of the Greats, David Niven and Alan Napier!
A good story ...You never know? Some people have the minds eye to pick up on certain energies?
That went from, a crime drama, to a fantasy thriller, in a heartbeat💓!! Wasn't expecting that, at ALL!! Always enjoyed David's personality, and acting. Never heard of this television program, before either. Thank you😁!!
I've listened to this story many times on audiobook channels, it was great to actually watch it on the screen.
One of my favorite British actors.
Oh, this was good! I hope there’ll be more episodes. Thank you.
Such a fun, quirky performance by Alan Napier!
Wasn’t this absolutely DELIGHTFUL?!?!
I want more of that.
Love David Niven
Thank you. For this..👍
I noticed some of these. I look for things like this in movies and t.v. Not for negative feelings, just is further entertaining.
David Niven, what a treat. TY
Great episode. I was 1 year old in 1953...so I guess I missed the original airing! Lol...we didn't have TV until many years later.
Very simple way in which the movie is well made
Brought to you by the Singer Sewing Machine company. Sounds sweet. Sewing machine was a fantastic standard for woman sewing at home.
I still sew 🧵 on a Singer 306K. Scottish made, an absolute workhorse. It was built in September 1959, making it 64 years old in a few days. Puts modern machines to shame.
I loveed Hollywood in that era.
Tall, dapper, suave, controlled, great author......it was men like David Niven what really won the War!
An unexpected gem - David Niven was so good. I miss him a lot.
🍕🍕Thank you , PF .🍕David Niven , a great talent .❤👍🍕🍕🍕
David Niven always cut such an English gentlemanly figure! One mini-criticism: we in Britain don't call our railways "railroads" - they're railways. However, I enjoyed watching this.
When they don’t spend half of the time doing all the blood, sex and gore, they can really develop their characters.
Marvelous, thank you
Very intriguing story. Thank you for sharing. :)
I ❤him in Around The In 🌎80 Days.
PizzaFlix, this was a fun one to slip in. Great acting. And the twist and the only plausible explanation was the ghost.
A simple story from a much gentler age, though the class divides are far more noticeable after decades of social change.
So good,thank you
Lo mejor que he visto hace tiempo.Gracias por subirlo!
I have several David niven movies wish I had this one
Ahh , unbeleivers , what would we do without them .
Singer , a name not seen for years , but in the family home from treddle machine , 1st modle knee bar operated , rather than foot peddle , to two later models , all still going strong .
"The man on the tràin " , a geeat story , one woth retelling often - such a long time since compartment seating has been seen on English rail .
Niven's autobiography was one the most entertaining ones I've read.
Simply adored him.
Great story! Thanks for providing this for us to watch!
@12:26 perhaps the funniest line in the flick: _Why, come to think of it, Grace, my secretary, has a grey beard._ 🤣
Back then most secretary's were male, Grace would of been his surname.
That fits perfectly into today's "gender fluid" society! 😆
Raikes, not Grace...
On a British train, he is not a conductor but the guard.
22:11 ☆ 💖 ~ Wowwwww ... was NOT expecting this!!! LUV being surprised like this. Figured him & his boss were gaslighting David Niven's character back in the office. Don't believe in ghosts - but this was a jolly good ride!!! TY🍕
👍✌🤙

If you wish for peace, prepare for war. 💖
Marvellous 😁❤
One of the first actors as a kid I could remember
Very enjoyable, thank you.
Brilliant ghost story
Very good thanks
Brilliant. Thank you 😊
the original short story which was used to make this adaptation was written by the noted novelist, Egyptologist, artist, singer and adventurous traveller AMELIA B EDWARDS ... who wrote many novels - some selling over a million copies! - and dozens of short stories including THE PHANTOM COACH and - THE 4.15 EXPRESS which was the source material for this story. Even IMDB has not given her any credit as being the writer of the original story. The full text of THE 4.15 EXPRESS can be found in the Gutenberg Project online library, in a volume called STORIES OF MYSTERY - I highly recommend Amelia's novel BARBARA'S STORY and her many other collections of short stories and 'mysterious tales' - -
Delightful ❤
That was tremendous!
Entertaing. Thank you.
Thank you! ❤
This was great. Short but sweet :)
Thank you for sharing!

Great story. It was a ghost
That was great thank you!!
Thanks for sharing! Subscribed😊🎬
Me too! 😊
Great story. Thanks!
great story, nice twist at the end!!
What a great short tale !
Merci
The director to Niven: “Bug your eyes. That’s right, and again please … and again.”
But what a fun little story!
DN was also so very debonair.
Based upon Amelia B Edwards' Four Fifteen Express, one of a number of excellent ghost stories she created.
Looking forward to the next one?👍
*There must be very few unsolved crimes in England with a police force like Scotland Yard.*
I remember this program. The other stars were ida kuoino, dick Powell and Charles boyer.
