The film of the 1946 "occurrence" - The Night Their Number Came Up - is worth watching if you consider it was made in 1955 and make appropriate allowances! AT procedures and AT Sy were clearly a lot different then (and were presumably reasonably accurately portrayed.)

Michael Redgrave plays the Air Marshal's character. If - and it's an enormous if - you believe this precognition malarkey, the film raises an interesting point.

In the "prophetic dream", all pob were killed in the crash, but in the event - armed with the knowledge from the dream - all survived the forced landing.

So the dream didn't predict what would happen, but what might happen??????
