A season of Britain's great laughter-makers
starring Kenneth More, Betsy Drake
with Roland Culver, Harry Green, Patrick Barr, Maureen Connell
Adapted from The Enchanted Hour by Paul Gallico
Written and directed by Henry Cornelius

A brilliant but timid engineer finds himself unexpectedly on board the Queen Elizabeth in pursuit of financial backing for a revolutionary new industrial process.
Next to No Time was the last film directed by Henry Cornelius; he died shortly before its release. Cornelius is best remembered for his two delightful comedies Genevieve (in which Kenneth More scored his first big personal success) and Passport to Pimlico, the first of the Eating comedies whose special quality was to find humour and wit in the lives of ordinary people without turning them into caricatures.

A report by Peter Dorling on the remarkable case of Mrs. Rosemary Brown, a South London widow who claims to be receiving new music from famous composers of the past, among them Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, and Schubert.
Though not a trained musician herself, Mrs. Brown is beginning to puzzle the experts with manuscripts she claims to have written from dictation by the composers.
Her story was first told to BBC viewers in the South-East of England earlier this year in an edition of London This Week. Since then, there's been mounting interest in her work, both in this country and overseas. Tonight's film brings the story up to date.
Taking part Richard Rodney Bennett, Denis Matthews, Hephzibah Menuhin, Dr. Malcolm Troup
