BRITISH cinema legend Kenneth More (Scrooge, Sink the Bismarck!) heads an outstanding comedy cast in this brilliantly engaging adaption of a story by Oscar-nominated screenwriter and novelist Paul Gallico (The Pride Of The Yankees). Filmed extensively on the Queen Elizabeth – then the largest liner in the world – Next To No Time (U) is released on DVD on 1 June 2015, RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network’s ‘The British Film’ collection.
David Webb, a brilliant backroom boffin who is cripplingly shy and nervous in unfamiliar situations, has an ingenious scheme for converting his employer’s factory to automation. The project, however, requires more capital than the firm can provide, and to his horror Webb finds himself thrust aboard the liner Queen Elizabeth and heading inexorably to America, where he is expected to track down a famous industrialist and persuade him to finance the scheme.
