What a good singer Roomie hill was

My grandad was the one who sung throughout the movie

The music is stunningly haunting. "My Heart is the Lover" Composer is Martin Slavin!!! - Both the instrumental and the vocal by Ronnie Hall are the highpoint of the film.

Anyone know who plays the switchboard operator about 15 minutes into this movie?!? 🤔

[@davesheppard8797]

I just watched it and paused it at this point. He isn't in shot to really recognize him and the picture quality isn't great. So I couldn't tell. In the nightclub scene when Ronnie is singing, the name on the base drum is "Dave Clark ". Was it just Dave Clark playing the drums or was Ronnie backed by an early "Dave Clark five"? Sorry I can't be more help with the switch board op. He did look slightly familiar!! Dave.

@@319metresMW Ah yes....I thought it was. It's bugging me now who the switchboard op is!🤣🤣. If I could see him clearly for a little longer I may recognize him. I hope you are well during these difficult times. Take care. Dave.🙂🙂

Renown Pictures by name perhaps, but little else. Presenting less than six minutes of the feature "Pit of Darkness" - along with distorting a 4:3 ratio film to 16:9 format is a pointless exercise.

The best thing to about this film is the singer. The great voice of Ronnie Hall singing My Heart Is The Lover of which I believe is a b side of a 45 single. If only this was available I am sure there would be plenty of people snapping this GEM up. She's Mine is a great song which is to be found on you tube and available for download on Amazon . Check it out.

I just watched this movie complete on youtube two weeks ago and wanted to show it to a friend last night, though discovered that it was removed from youtube. Was there a DVD issued for sale to the public on Amazon ? Unfortunately, the youtube user Britishfilmnoir closed his account just recently. This and another movie from 1959, The White Trap with Lee Patterson that I thought was exceptional !

@@kenthompson1752 Very strange business. The whole film has been uploaded again. I don't understand why this video with only the first few minutes is here, with comments that don't mention that fact. I watched this film some weeks ago (but which video?) and made comments, but I don't see them now.
