The Passing of the Third Floor Back**    
(GB 1935)                   
Gaumont British. 90m. bw

For Easter Sunday a semi-religious item, about a mysterious upstairs tenant who changes the cynical lives of those inside an ordinary London boarding house between the wars.
A welcome dose of mystical reassurance to audiences of the time and still heartwarming today, the second version of this allegorical play (a silent film version was made in 1918), with God and the Devil's places clearly symbolically marked, and a good supporting cast and atmosphere to heighten the believability of the story.
