*It was written in 1945. It's a single-shot movie, close to two hours. If
you want to spoil it for yourself, read the wiki page on it. It was written
by English playwright and novelest, J.B. Priestly, about whom Wikipedia
writes--*

*Priestley was educated at Belle Vue Grammar School
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Vue_Boys%27_School>, which he left at
sixteen to work as a junior clerk at Helm & Co., a wool firm in the Swan
Arcade. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Arcade,_Bradford>*

*Don't bother with those links, but you have to admit or correct me if I'm
wrong, but "Swan Arcade" would be a great or just unique name for a bike.*

*I* think that Rivendell ought to make a nod to Flavia de Luce and make a
bicycle called "Gladys," for her BSA "Keep Fit." Or, if you want to be more
Wodehousian, "Gwladys."

I have no idea if the movie lives up to the books, but the books are fun in
a well written, literarily interesting, silly way -- 11/12 year old female
scion of impoverished English aristocratic family in 1950-51, precocious
chemist with predilection for poisons, living in huge, ancient barracks of
ancestral home. Gladys is her dead mother's BSA Keep Fit, amusingly
anthropormorphised.

I daresay Hollywood or whoever made the movie will mess up the story, but
the story series is fun.

With a parting riposte: Foyle's War, and George Gently.

Over and out.
