Wonderfully creepy.
A little known classic. This is the kind of film you've forgotton they used to make. Attenborough expertly plays the put upon husband to Stanley, reluctantly fullfilling her ever more disturbing wishes. Forbes in his element.

Great For A Wet Afternoon ... Ironically
A dark 1960s thriller about a couple who decide to kidnap a little girl for ransom money. Richard Attenborough plays the browbeaten husband roped in by his increasingly insane wife with touching humanity painfully aware that what they are doing is dreadfully wrong but desperate to keep the wife he adores happy.
Some great footage of central London and the tube in the early 1960s shows how little it’s all changed, though in hindsight the images of people happily smoking fags in the carriages seems disturbing now.
It’s particularly interesting for me as I cycle past the Leicester Square tube entrance in the film every morning on the way to work and it now feels like I’m riding through a film set – this isn’t necessarily a reason to watch the film though.
This is the perfect sort of film for a rainy Saturday afternoon – which is probably why these sorts of films are shown at this particular time. -
