Despite the stagey "old farmhouse" where the cast all live together while developing a super plane in the shadow of coming war. They tend to dress for dinner and stand around having drinks - when they're not having illicit romantic dinners in Jacobethan hotels, or meeting blackmailers on lonely dark roads.
Someone mentioned the music - it's more than quite good. It is combined with good sound effects to chilling effect at moments.
All the cast are good - the good-looking test pilot who is given to cruel practical jokes on Basil Radford's usual apparently bumbling character, Roger Livesey, Felix Aylmer - who has the best wisecracks.
The banter is actually funny. Pilot to ground: Can I get down now?
Spoiler alert: Why didn't she give Porter her pearls and pretend she'd lost them?
