Title: Great moody and tragic film; poor audio
Review: The director does a fine job here with mood, atmosphere, angles, and lighting in this tragic tale of a woman whose mind snaps after a tragedy befalls her and her hapless husband. They hatch a plot to hold a child for ransom to get enough money to get away from the misery and sorrow, but of course the whole thing goes terribly wrong. It's obvious from the beginning that this woman, Myra, is mentally unstable and that she also exerts powerful control over her husband, Billy. Stanley and Attenborough give excellent performances.The only problem is that I had to turn the audio all the way up to 70 sometimes, practically the maximum, and still could not make out everything that they were saying, especially during the key scene towards the end when Myra gives a seance with police officers at the table.
