The film identified as "The Devil of Hobbs End" is actually "Five Million
Years to Earth" [not "20,000,000 Miles to Earth", which is another film
entirely], and was originally titled "Quatermass and the Pit".  It is one
of three films featuring the hero (from BBC) Professor Bernard Quatermass.
The Prof is played by Andrew Keir in "5M Years"; in the other movies,
("Enemy from Space" and "The Creeping Unknown") he was played by Brian 
Donlevy.  "5M Years" is one of the best and scariest low-budget SF films of
all time.  I highly recommend it -- but not alone or late at night.
