Ploydsge just watch it!

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Karl Hughes I really enjoyed this film, especially being able to spot so many character actors in small roles. Early appearances for Barbara Windsor and Joan Sims, and appearances by Joan Hickson, Marianne Stone and Dandy Nichols (all would appear in Carry On films). Seeing Marianne in this film makes me realise it's a shame that she never went on to have larger comedy parts.This film might have been better if the parents had been played by British character actors rather than American, and it leaves me wondering who I'd have chosen as the well-to-do parents if I was able to cast. Dirk Bogarde and Julie Christie maybe?As others have said, despite the subject matter this film is carried off quite light heartedly, and the colour photography is lovely. Well worth 90 minutes of your life.

JoeytheBrit Lost is a decent little British film that pretty much covers all bases regarding the search for a kidnapped baby. David Knight and Julia Arnall are the American couple whose baby is snatched from under the nose of their nanny when she parks his pram outside a chemists shop in London. A frantic search ensues, led by the reassuringly gruff Detective Inspector played by David Farrar, who has to wade through a mass of red herrings before his dogged investigation finally leads him to the culprit.Lost is a rare example of a mid-fifties British drama filmed in colour, and its most fascinating aspect is the location shots of familiar London streets populated by people either now long-gone or in the sunset of their lives. The story is quite absorbing, although a little uneven, and everything is much more polite than it would be today. Having said that, the story's subject matter is probably more relevant today than it was when the film was made, and it wouldn't take much tweaking to be brought up to date and slotted into an ITV Sunday night drama schedule.A few familiar faces make unexpected appearances: one of the girls in the chemist shop is an 18-year-old Barbara Windsor, and the flirtatious seller of ice creams in Kensington Park is her Carry On co-star, Joan Sims. Mona Washbourne, Dandy Nichols, Thora Hird, Joan Hickson, Percy Herbert and Shirley-Anne Field are also in there somewhere, largely in blink and you'll miss them roles.

Chris Gaskin I taped Lost when Channel 4 screened one afternoon recently and is a well shot mystery-thriller.A nanny who is looking after an American couple's 18 month old son leaves him outside a shop and finds him gone when she returns. Police are informed and so are the mum and dad. The search takes them all over London and then onto the South coast where we find out who the kidnapper is and worse still, is planning to jump off a cliff...Lost is beautifully shot in colour and on location, around London and on Beachy Head. We also get to see the old types of transport, especially the old London RT-type double deck buses and the coach station sequence features old coaches of famous and long disappeared names such as Southdown and Midland Red. We see some old Southern Region electric trains too. I wished time machines really existed.A good cast too: David Farrar, Julia Arnall, David Knight, singer Eleanor Summerfield, Thora Hird (Last of the Summer Wine) and bit parts from Joan Hickson (Miss Marple), Shirly Anne Field and Robert Brown (who replaced Bernard Lee as M in the Bond movies).Lost is an excellent way to spend an hour and half one afternoon or evening. A treat.Rating: 4 stars out of 5.

Andrew_S_Hatton This was when us Brits still had stiff lips and knew "our place".It is no wonder Yanks get such a false picture of the Brits from this sort of stuff.Nonetheless it reeks of nostalgia. You can almost smell the leather on the car seats!I particularly liked the view of all the 1955 coaches lined up at Victoria Coach Station, London. That coach station is still there in the hub of west London, awkwardly located for any of us on the east of the country but the place that remains the hub of coaches throughout the UK.I spotted a very young and almost good looking Dandy Nichols, I suppose this must be what she looked like when Alf Garnett (Till death us do part!) fell for her!One senses they were trying to be trendy and "with it" with the female CID officer who was a sergeant already. A very enjoyable time was had by all even though the main characters were unfamiliar, even to an oldster like me.
