Kim Stanley (who's clearly nuts) plans to kidnap a child so she can show off her powers as a medium to locate her - why on earth does husband Dickie Attenborough agree? Our DVD fucked up at the end, so we're not quite sure what happened... but we hope the child (Judith Donner) was alive.
The two leads are fabulous, and the whole thing is made with style - Gerry Turpin's cinematography and John Barry's score are assets. Derek York (A High Wind in Jamaica) edited.
Stanley was best known for her stage work, and made many TV appearances. In an obscure pub quiz fact, she is also the voice of adult Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Patrick Magee and Gerald Sim are policemen, Mark Eden and Nanette Newman the worried parents...
I'm kinda glad we don't know in a way. It sort of puts you off wanting to watch it again for that reason...
