Ugledni američki matematičar David Sumner (D. Hoffman) stiže sa suprugom Amy (S. George) u slikoviti engleski gradić u Cornwallu da sljedećih nekoliko mjeseci dovrši svoju novu knjigu. Amy je podrijetlom iz tog mjesta te njezin povratak odmah izazove pozornost sumještana, posebice njezine ljubavi iz mladosti, Charlieja (D. Henney). On je još uvijek zaljubljen u Amy, pa kad ga David unajmi da s kolegama popravi krov na kući, to mu je prilika da se udvara svojoj bivšoj djevojci. Premda istinski zaljubljena u Davida, Amy je sve nezadovoljnija brakom i suprugovim zanemarivanjem. U takvim joj se okolnostima Charlie pokuša približiti, no kad ga ona odbije, on je, tijekom Davidova odlaska u lov, prisili na seks. Zateknu ih Charliejevi radnici koji, zaprijetivši im oružjem, brutalno siluju nesretnu Amy. Mlada žena zataji što se dogodilo, ali kad u njihovu kuću uskoro stigne Henry Niles (D. Warner) kojeg sumještani optužuju za nestanak djevojke Janice (S. Thomsett), napetost će se pretvoriti u pravu tragediju…

Penny Points to Paradise is a 1951 comedy feature film.[1] The film was the feature film debut of the stars of The Goon Show, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers.

Secombe plays the part of Harry Flakers, a man who has a big win on the football pools. He and his friend Spike Donnelly (Milligan) decide to go to the same shabby seaside boarding house that they have always patronised for their summer holiday, but this year all the other guests (including two young women out to marry money, a dodgy investment advisor and a master forger and assistant) are intent on taking the fortune off them in one way or another.

Ultimately the forgers manage to substitute fake five-pound notes for the real ones that Flakers keeps in his suitcase, but before they can abscond with the money one of the girls is given cash by Flakers to buy some cigarettes, and accused of passing false currency when the forgery is detected. A grand chase follows with half the characters pursuing the other half through a waxwork museum in which the true crooks have taken refuge. Justice is served when the chief forger boasts of his crime in front of what he thinks are two waxwork policemen, but who turn out to be real members of the force.

In the final scenes Harry and Spike marry the two women.

There are sequences featuring a night out at the theatre where a stage hypnotist mesmerises Flakers and the girl Christine into performing an operatic duet, he singing soprano and she baritone, and a scene in which Harry Secombe wordlessly mimes out an entire heart operation being carried out by a nervous surgeon.

The film was directed by Tony Young, who later produced The Telegoons for BBC Television.

No Highway in the Sky (a.k.a. No Highway) is a 1951 British black-and-white aviation film from 20th Century Fox, produced by Louis D. Lighton, directed by Henry Koster, that stars James Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, Glynis Johns, Niall MacGinnis, Janette Scott, and Jack Hawkins. The screenplay was written by Oscar Millard, with additional material provided by Alec Coppel.

The film is based on the novel No Highway by Nevil Shute and was one of the first films that depicted a potential aviation disaster involving metal fatigue. Although the film follows the plot of Shute’s original 1948 novel in general, No Highway in the Sky notably omits references to the supernatural contained in the original novel, including the use of automatic writing to resolve a key element in the original novel’s story. The role of Scott, the recently appointed administrator who narrates the novel, is curtailed in the film version, which means that one of the several touching features of the book, Scott’s blind faith in his scientist, is also missing.

Plot

Theodore Honey (James Stewart), an eccentric “boffin” with the Royal Aircraft Establishment, is working on solving a difficult aviation crash problem. A widower with a 12-year-old daughter, Elspeth (Janette Scott), Honey is sent from Farnborough to investigate the crash of a Rutland Reindeer airliner in Labrador, Canada. He theorizes the accident happened because of the tailplane’s structural failure, caused by metal fatigue after 1440 flight hours. To test the theory in his laboratory, a rear airframe (empennage) is being vibrated at a very high rate in daily eight-hour cycles.

It is not until Honey finds himself on board a Reindeer airliner that he realizes he is flying on an early production aircraft that is close to the number of hours his theory projects for the metal fatigue failure. Despite the fact that his theory is not yet proven, he decides to warn the aircrew and Hollywood actress Monica Teasdale (Marlene Dietrich), a fellow passenger. After the Reindeer safely lands at Gander Airport in Newfoundland, an inspection clears the aircraft to continue on its route. Honey then takes drastic action to stop the flight by activating the Reindeer’s undercarriage lever, dropping the airliner on its belly and seriously damaging it. Shocked by the act, some of his colleagues demand that he be declared insane to discredit his unproved theory, and to save the reputation of British passenger aviation now awash in a sea of bad press.

Teasdale and an airline stewardess Marjorie Corder (Glynis Johns) both take a liking to Mr Honey and Elspeth, who they discover is lonely and isolated from her schoolmates. Teasdale speaks to Honey’s superiors on his behalf, claiming she believes in him. Corder, meanwhile, has stayed on with Honey and his daughter as a nurse. Having now observed Honey’s many qualities beyond his minor eccentricities, and after becoming very close to Elspeth, she decides to make the arrangement permanent by marrying the engineer.

During a hearing in which his sanity is questioned, Honey angrily protests, refusing to be railroaded. He resigns and walks out, threatening to collapse other Rutland Reindeers until all the aircraft are grounded. He then goes back to his laboratory to prove his metal fatigue theory is sound, but the time he predicted for the structural failure soon passes without anything happening. Meanwhile the Reindeer airliner he disabled at Gander is repaired, and soon after it completes a test flight, the tail falls off while taxiing. Shortly thereafter, the same thing happens to the tail frame in the laboratory, and Honey discovers that he failed to include temperature as a variable factor in his fatigue calculations.
