I dug out the video the other night and it still packs an almighty punch.

Anyone else enjoy this movie?
I agree with this, it made me thinking of The Haunting too, very good one indeed !

I watched it recently, does anyone remember the kiss , I wonder if that would be allowed now, when Deborah Kerr kisses the boy on the mouth

I watched this movie for the first time a few months back, largely due to the postings on this forum. It is a moody and very unnerving piece, fabulously photographed . I was quite unprepared for the final kiss scene, though ; really the full bodied style of it set against the events that preceded it. I did find it a bit unsettling and also thought at the time it would never have been allowed today. The reason isn't that in terms of the story that it meant anything improper but the the reaction in todays' climate would be based around it supposedly being paedophilic (which it is obviously is not meant to be).....
