I have an excellent tape of this thriller and can either make you a tape or a DVD-R of it.
Best,
Aphra

thank you smudge
Hello, cobalt,

I'm glad you brought that film title up. I'd never heard of it but it sounds like a gem of a mystery/terror film.
Pamela Franklin's always been excellent. When she was younger she appeared in "Our Mother's House" (1967) with Dirk Bogarde, who said that making the film with her and the other children was a real joy. I also hadn't known much about Michelle Dotrice but once looked up, her theatrical connection with father Roy Dotrice and husband Edward Woodward is fascinating.

I'd enjoy hearing what you think of the film. I just ordered it at the library to have a look myself.

Best,

Barbara

I don't think you'll be disappointed Barbara. It's a cracking little sub-Hitchcock thriller with some great location work. If your main experience of Michele Dotrice is as the simpering Betty in SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE 'EM, you will, I'm sure, be surprised...

It's one of the films which showed great promise for Bryan Forbes' brief tenure as the head of Elstree Studios. Shame that the real reputation of this and his other productions only came after time, and long after he was removed..

Hope you enjoy it. Do let us know what you think.

Thanks for that, Smudge. Turns out I can't get it from my interlibrary loan. The only place that has the film is a library across the country which won't loan out of state. When I do find it, I'll definitely report back. Sounds like an excellent thriller. It looks worth a search.

Best,

Barbara
