Trivia
This is probably the second (available) film that involves a time machine, the first being the little-known Hungarian film Szíriusz (1942). It was released the same year as While Nero Fiddled (1944), another small British comedy about time travel.

Goofs
When the time ball first goes into space we see a clear view of the altimeter, labeled 'Height in ten thousand miles' and numbered from 1 to 10. Under the number 10 is written '1 million' (which the professor quotes) instead of the correct 100,000 miles (10x10,000).

Quotes
Tommy: That's the Professor's timeball, Susie. We can make it fly Back to Methuselah, or forward to the space of Things to Come.

Enjoyable and witty

I enjoy this era of British comedy / movies. I can watch these over and over again. How refreshing it is to watch good hearted, clean and witty comedy.

Movies such as - The Ghost of St Michaels, The Black Sheep of Whithall, Bees in Paradise, Good morning Boys, Give us the Moon etc are pure British gems !

I admire the Brits for turning out these now classic movies during the war and post war period, love watching 'em !!! from an Aussie movie admirer with strong British traditions and family ties. Only movies to watch !!
