Synopsis: I Think They Call Him John (1964) the desperately sad portrait of a widower's life, with all its silent loneliness; this piece contains Krish's brilliant remark that the old are like "an army of strangers we have no intention of joining". This film also contains a sensational coup de cinéma: just as we are thinking how ancient and alien everything looks, the old guy turns on the television, and we hear the unmistakable voice of Bruce Forsyth presenting Beat the Clock.
