I have wondered about this lately. I had always thought that that didn't happen as time has GOT to be different when we die than when we live. However, Hebrews DOES talk about witnesses so maybe you are right. I know we're not supposed to conjure up the dead as that takes God's place (in a way) but I think I'm more on your page these days.

Also I KNOW we are beneath the angels in our current position but we WILL be higher than them in the future. So humans and angels are different from each other. FOR SURE!

I have collected the pc49 books over the years. I read the first one when I was 14. I got it from a jumble sale. Great stuff and proper brit stuff. So dated now but cool never the less.

We have Biggles books, but the children of today are not interested. I am not a Brit, however it doesn't stop me enjoying them. Haven't got PC49 books, they look more in my grandfather's time (poppa to me) he was a policeman with a similar helmet.

Have to say it, this one is quite hard to sit through nowadays. But it was a success for Hammer because PC 49 was such a popular character back then, especially with children. Still, it gives an interesting insight into what life was like in those days.

PC 49 gave all his energy to noticing the cold, getting his illegal cup of tea and kissing his wife, completely ignoring the direct order by his boss to keep an eye open for exactly the thing that actually happened, completely caught off guard in handling it. Then he had the nerve to ask his superiors if they would mind letting him in on solving it.

@deebrown1902 7 жыл бұрын

PC49 was a little grainy, but clear enough to watch. The sound was good. The British accent was understandable through most of the movie. The plot was interesting keeping our attention. The Police Copper #49 volunteered to imbed himself with a local gang to bring them down. He learned his part well to do this, being very believable to the gang members. But he had a hurdle to jump and overcome. This was a 1 hour good movie for which we offer thanks to gary170459

She gives him a drink which he takes with his right hand and gets told off. What nonsense! I'm left handed and regularly drink right handed. Somebody even said about it in the pub thinking I should drink left handed. it depends where I put my glass which hand I use. Then the police smash the cafe window, kick a few panels in before thinking to kick it where it matters. A good film anyway.

@Prof.Tarfeather 2 жыл бұрын

You may be ambidextrous, I write left handed, use a fork left handed, use scissors right handed. Play softball right handed and use a glass with both. Brush my teeth with both can tie my shoes both ways. A neurologist told me if I ever had a stroke, the success of healing is greatly increased if a person us ambidextrous.

absolutely amateurish and wooden. No wonder the British film industry at that time was laughed at by the Americans. Personally I love the 50's and later British movies but this particular movie and era I suppose was still in it's infancy and as such the director and actors/actresses had no idea how to act believably. But thank you for posting the movie anyway as the nostalgia of that era always makes me feel good especially when one has experienced the same era as I did.
