Good adaptation from the play by John C. Mather and James Eastwood

A lonely inn in the Scottish highland is visited by what appears to be a meteor. This film also has the usual collection of personalities. After we get all the introductions and drinks in the house, an unexpected visitor appears from the sky.

Yep, looks like a neighboring planet is deficient in a certain commodity (males). The visitor is Nyah (Patricia Laffan) an aloof min-skirted manless female alien. To satisfy the sci-fi in all of us they mention "antimatter" (in so many words) and the next dimension. Does the space vehicle look like a prototype of the familiar Spielberg vehicles?

Will Ellen Prestwick (Hazel Court) suddenly switch from tomato juice to whiskey?

Will Robert Justin (Peter Reynolds) kill or make time?

Will Nyah get what she came for or more than she bargained for?

See Patricia Laffan in a more dangerous role as Miss Alice MacDonald in "23 Paces to Baker Street" (1956) adapted from the book "Warrant for X" by Philip MacDonald.
