Humor is out of place

There's no mention of any such meddling. At any rate, it was deliberately inserted to break the mood and create a change of pace, effectively disarming the audience for what comes next. Many anthological pieces, nay, many works of narrative, employ this very same tactic.

Agreed. I just didn't think that segment worked at all.🐭

My big problem with the golfing story is when the guy (spoiler alert!) loses the game (and the girl) so he just walks into the lake, calmly, and commits suicide, and his friend doesn't even try to pull him out? Or did I misinterpret what happened in that scene?

Life's a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!

i enjoyed it,
especially that he went into the lake ,
it felt a bit like monty pyton.

but the other person, who saw it with me,
was also confused of that ^_^

I agree, the golfing story is the weakest and feels out of place with the rest of the film. It's not bad, but it's my least favourite.

I enjoyed it; to each his own! A little humor is always good, as a foil to a dark theme; great point on the made up nature of the tale. I might have missed that had I not turned to the boards, for another point.

It's not out of place. Many anthologies throw in a humorous tale for the sake of variety and keeping things lively.

Not really my taste in comedy, though. Mildly amusing dilemma with maybe two good laughs including the WTF lake-walk, typically British dry humor concerning proper manners. Interesting to see the comedy duo Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne playing roles similar to Charters and Caldicott.

i read that the golfing story was cut for the us release. i can see why; it is easily the weakest link in the anthology.
