I am just watching the movie The Green Man on the Taking Pictures TV channel, the title is so familiar to me that I was certain that I must have viewed it before, but no I hadn't and I don't know how I've missed it after all these years. Though it's strange with some films that I start off not recognising it, and with this one I found myself recalling aspects of the film bye the end of it.
Alistair Simms is one of my absolute favourite British actors and for me all of his movies are must sees, as I feel that he is an inimitable sheer delight and here in this one he is on perfectly top form.
A perpetual joy for me especially in classic British films is to look out for the familiar acting faces, and the Green Man contains a veritable plethora of actors and actresses from so many well known films, unfortunately for me they are only seen for effectively cameo appearances.
The name of The Green Man is synonymous with folk lore within these British Isles not only the name but a sculptured image of a mans face that appears carved into the facia of houses and pubs. That are dotted throughout the length and breadth of the countryside, it's reputed to represent rebirth though I have no knowledge of its origins.
