The Flying Eye (1955)



CFF family film
Year: 1955
Year in film: 1950s ?
Country: UK
Who in bibs: Bunstuffer ~12
Available on DVD: no ?
I own: no
Bib occurrence: medium ?
Rating:  5/10 ?
Rating: *****
Comment: At least David Hannaford ("The Extra Day, 1955, color) as boy detective in dark, simple bibs (rather pants with an attached bib, backside simple suspenders only). I only have seen a short clip. 53 minutes.

1953 novel "Bunst and the Flying Eye" by John Newton Chance, I think set in the 1950s (although the colonel owns this old car). There's a Bunst book series (the cover also depicting the boy in blue bibs).

Quite interesting and handsome boy. So rating 4-5. Another CFF movie (boy, color) coming soon.

List entry m/f up to rating 7

A nice film. I saw it in 1965 or 1966 with my brother in german afternoon television with german syncronizing.I would like to see the film again - now 71 years old. Is there any possibility, to get a dvd? I remember, we have watched some CFF movies at this time in german television, they were well made, logic and thrilling.

Sorry, I also can just search the web. I think there's no DVD.
Currently I haven't found a full stream either. So you can only wait.
