Superior low-key suspense drama. Vastly underrated and almost forgotten.

I wan't sure about this film at first, but it pulled me in. There are some great shots of the London Underground in the early 60's, and it is well written. It keeps one's attention, is a rather simple film, and very dated by today's standards, but quite watchable. However, it would have been nice if hulu had cranked up the volume a bit in spots as it was virtually impossible to discern the dialogue during the seance bits.

This film definitely takes you back to that time zone. Kinda Alfred Hitchcock. A women on the edge of sanity. The grief of losing her own child years before has pushed her beyond repair. She does pull you in, if only hoping for the best outcome. The husband, another story...
Enjoy the suspense.

Forbes also wrote this one (as he often did). It's hard to find any fault with this movie. You can't get much better than a film, not only written and directed by Forbes, but starring an unforgettable pairing in Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough. Ms. Stanley didn't make too many movies, but this one is enough to show why she's often thought of as the best stage actress of the 20th century.Just to tell a small bit of the story, it's about a woman and her husband who earn some money giving seances for people. It's unclear whether the husband, played by Attenborough, actually believes anything supernatural is going on, because as the story progresses, it becomes clear that his wife, played by Stanley, is having, or has already had a serious break with reality.A word of warning to those thinking this is a movie about the supernatural given the film's title—it is not, although some may see something of the supernatural in the wife's delusional mode of existence. The film is actually about something entirely different—the kidnapping of a young girl. Very suspensefully done from beginning to end.
