continuing a short season of films to celebrate his 70th birthday. with Cecil Parker , Herbert Lorn Peter Sellers , Danny Green
Mrs Wilberforce is one of London's nicer landladies. A little vague perhaps, but definitely not the sort of person to have a gang of desperate criminals in her house. Unfortunately Professor Marcus and his friends are not the musical society she supposes, and their plans are anything but harmonious.
Alec Guinness plays the genial Professor Marcus with enough menace to create a shiver between the laughs in the last of his Ealing comedies.

2,000 Feet Deep-an Ocean Odyssey In pitch darkness 2,000 feet below the ocean's surface, two men in shirtsleeves sit in a transparent plastic bubble. Not James Bond , nor Jules Verne , just two scientists from the Harbor Branch Foundation in Florida.
Their craft is a submersible-a unique sphere capable of descending deep into the ocean. Almost every dive discovers new species.
Two hours' drive to the north of Harbor Branch lies Cape Canaveral, where billions of dollars are spent each year sending man into space. Roger Cook , Director of Marine Operations, finds it hard to understand this when man's immediate future may depend on the development of the ocean for minerals and food resources.
