Default Daughter of Darkness (1948)

Has anyone come across this? Stars Siobhan McKenna as a young girl who is, unknown to those around her, a serial killer. I saw it on the much-missed Carlton Cinema channel but was unable to record it.

Oh, you would! Poor darling. She's obviously so misunderstood.

My Mr. Smarty gets suspicious about me sometimes, but as long as I keep him chained up, I don't have any problems with his rantings.

Gee - where did I leave that feather boa last time?

I bought the DVD when it was first released, it is a good film, well worth watching, very atmospheric and also starring a young Honor Blackman in what I thnk was her first film. I always wanted to see it (waited years in fact), as when I was a child I visited the church and the house where it was filmed, I remember the local people telling my parents all about it. It must have been really exciting for such a small village to have had a film made there.

I've just been reading the Maxwell Reed 'Forgotten Man' article and I see that Daughter of Darkness is mentioned as one of his best films. I've never seen it and if anyone has a copy I would love to get it. I have loads to swap or happy to pay.
Regards, John.

It's a great film, but then I would say that wouldn't I.
