The name, ah, escapes me. If I'm right below, I could probably look it up.
The way I remember it, it's a Roald Dahl short story made into a movie
for Dahl's own _Tales_of_the_Unexpected_ series, and again (different movie)
for the new series of _Alfred_Hitchcock_Presents_. Roald Dahl is one of
favourite authors, and I'm pretty sure that this was one of his, but I
could be wrong.
