Hi all,
I am watching Inn For Trouble (1960) on Mantinee Movies at the moment. I was amazed early on in the film to hear someone talking about the village of Orbiston Parva !! As many of you will know, this is the fictional parish of Rev. John Smallwood played by Peter Sellers in Heavens Above (1963). I can't find any obvious connection between the two films. Does anyone know of one? The only one I can see is that (the brilliant) Irene Handl appears in both films, but I don't think this would account for the use of the village name.
Cheers,
A
