This British programmer is nothing special.  I found the plot confusing and the solution unsatisfying in the extreme.  It is of note mainly for an early performance by Alistair Sim as a reporter.  I was going to comment that his Scottish accent was a bit much only to find out that Sim was born in Edinburgh!  What do I know?
