Four-star movie: The Night My Number Came Up

The Night My Number Came Up
Director: Leslie Norman
1955

This is a British supernatural drama. A man dreams of a plane crash, but laughs it off because the events of the dream don't match reality. But then more and more items in reality change to match the dream, until finally, it all comes true.

I spent more time picking holes in the logic of the story than in being thrilled, and in watching the blatant (and played for such) classism as well as the taken-for-granted sexism.

Well-acted, but I don't think the supernatural elements don't work for modern audiences.
