Ghost story anthology makes you realise just how great Dead of Night is. Enjoyable enough though, especially sting-in-tail Christmas opening as Joan Collins tries to clear up after murdering her husband.
Beautiful sympathetic performance from Peter Cushing, whose beloved wife Violet has died in January 1971, and he was no doubt tapping into his grief.
And Nigel Patrick is an abusive director of a home for the blind, who take their revenge.
Written by Milton Subotsky, rather overlit by Norman Warwick. Also with Ralph Richardson, Ian Hendry, Richard Greene, Barbara Murray, Patrick Magee.
