Review of Endless Night (1972) by Wayne C — 05 Feb 2008
This adaptation of an Agatha Christie chiller is very much a film of its time but is a real favourite of mine and I discovered lots of friends who grew up in the '70s loved it too. Hayley Mills is so lovely as the elfen and purehearted heiress and Hywell Benett gives a likeable quality to the complex lead Mike.
To me it's almost like a Shakespearen tragedy and Bernard Herrmann's moog led score is fantastically creepy. And I love the refences to William's Blake's Auguries of Innocence.
