- Quotes
[the simple-minded Luke has caught Sophie snooping on the estate's grounds]
Luke Emberday: Mommy, look what I've found. Isn't she pretty?
Livia Emberday: Yes, very pretty - but there's no time to play now. You can play with her later.
Luke Emberday: Oh, Mommy!
[two goons grab the screaming Sophie and drag her away]
- ConnectionsReferenced in Lukas: Mann und Maus (1998)
Quite an oddball mystery film that can be confusing, character motivations can be hard to fathom and there's a lack of sharpness in the plot, but on the other hand, it's strangeness can be entertaining and there's a dash of creativity at work. There's nice decor, location and a sinister atmosphere- and some black humour. Stewart Granger is his usual charming self and makes this a distracting watch.
