Review of Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964) by Allan C — 20 Mar 2012
Strange movie in which a middle-aged couple (Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough) scheme to earn a living by conducting séances to bring back the spirit of the dead or perhaps find answers in situations of mystery.
This couple, however, takes their scam one step further by going to a private school and kidnapping the daughter (Judith Donner) of a wealthy family and holding her for ransom. At the same time, the couple conduct séances with the police to try and find this girl when she is being held hostage in their own house.
Their plan, however, backfires when the little girl becomes very ill. Quite peculiar and interesting movie that isn't a total success, but it does warrant a viewing, especially because of Kim Stanley's odd, amusing performance.
Nicely filmed and strange score add to the effects of this film.
