Blobbo X @Blobbo 10/22/2024 Hitchcock want-be (even have swinging light shot) weakened by TV show score. Pretty Stephanie Powers just 21 here. (Cigarette-voice Bankhead older.) See more m R 06/30/2024 I saw this film in 1965. Suspense (Hitchcock) & anxiety .The film scared the hell out of me! The magnificent Tallulah Bankhead played the role perfectly. I felt the anguish & terror of a religious zealot. I hated her💔for that. Stephanie Powers (The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.) ; became a hero to me...LoL! See more michael b 09/03/2023 wonderful Movie, Loved It.🌟🌟🌟🌟 See more 06/30/2021 Tallulah Bankhead — in her last movie — absolutely owns every scene she's in here, playing Mrs. Trefoile,the mother of Patricia Carroll's (Stefanie Powers) deceased fiance. As she comes to London, Patricia decides to get closure by visiting the old woman. Yet within a few scenes, she's now a captive of the hysterically religious woman and is due to be exorcised. Trefoile also has three servants — Harry (Peter Vaughan), Anna (Yootha Joyce) and Joseph (Donald Sutherland) — who are keeping our heroine away from the rest of the world, hiding her from her fiancee Alan Glentower (Maurice Kaufmann). Also known as Fanatic**, this is a strong entry in the psychobiddy genre that has Richard Matheson adapting Anne Blaisdell's novel Nightmare*. It was directed by Silvio Narizzano, who also made the Dennis Hopper and Carroll Baker movie Bloodbath and Georgy Girl. Nearly fifty years after making this movie, Stefanie Powers acted in Looped, a play based on a true story about Bankhead being inebriated and unable to loop the line, "Die! Die my darling!" for this film. The role was originated by Valerie Harper, who was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance despite the play closing after 33 performances. Harper played the role on the road until become sick with brain cancer. *One of the many names of Elizabeth Linington, who also wrote under her real name and the alter egos Lesley Egan, Egan O'Neill and Dell Shannon. **Bankhead sued Columbia Pictures when they retitled this for U.S. theaters.

How much you enjoy it depends upon how much you enjoy seeing tallulah Bankhead play an overly moralistic religious fanatic See more 11/12/2017 Not a bad little movie. While the music and camera angle choices can be jarring at times, it’s quite atmospheric and paranoid feeling. Bankhead has a blast as an out of her mind holy roller who has a rather untethered relationship with reality. See more Read all reviews
