British Film Comedy: The Oracle

BBC One
on BBC One London

A season of Britain's great laughter-makers
starring Robert Beatty, Michael Medwin
with Virginia McKenna, Joseph Tomelty
and Gilbert Harding as The Oracle

A newspaper reporter on a visit to Ireland discovers a rather unusual source of news information - a voice at the bottom of a well.
This is one of the Group 3 films, made under the overall production control of John Grierson, from which a cross-section will be seen on BBC-tv.
