The Night My Number Came Up is a 1955 Ealing Studios production and it’s one of those odd little movies that they don’t make nowadays (and more’s the pity). A kind of semi-paranormal vaguely supernatural psychological suspense aviation thriller.
It starts with a dream about a plane crash.
And it's superb.
