I was the one Nosferatu was possibly referencing in his original post.

Had it for ages and tbh I’ve not seen it, sometimes I can have films for yr or so before I watch it, So now I have a habit trying to watch them when I get them because the pile to watch just gets bigger, so trying to minimise it ,
But sadly doesn’t always work like that,
With games to play, films and tv shows to watch, and having a life as well .

But judging by other ppl comments it’s a miss more than hit, not even 4 on IMDb, and barely a proper like on letterboxd, 99% are giving it 2 and half or less.

These three arrived yesterday. Seeing Dead of Night without a slipcase is irritating, but I know it'll be temporary because I tend to file discs away after watching them and don't have many boxes on display. The Green Man was a blind buy – it's the only one of the three I haven't seen.

I have The Green Man on dvd. It's really good. Alistair Sim is excellent as a vacuum cleaner salesman / bomber.

The Green Man sounds like the sort of absurdist black comedy which I really like, something tonally similar to Arsenic and Old Lace or Kind Hearts and Coronets, both of which are amongst my favourite films.

The overview on the rear cover says "the film makes an interesting companion piece to MacKendrick's The Ladykillers", which is an attractive comparison.

I watched The Ladykillers for the first time ever last weekend I really enjoyed it!

I think The Ladykillers is a brilliant film, one of the all-time great British comedies.
