[Ichneumon]

I love the late 30s (it was filmed to be in 1939- they to go Radio City and Wizard of Oz is playing) so I really liked the film for its style.

They had another Oz homage as well -- there was definitely a "great and powerful Oz" moment when the electrical "zappers" formed a giant image of the bad guy's head and it started talking to them. I half expected a "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" followup.

Notice that the bad guy was Laurence Olivier? They used footage from an old movie that he was in.
