Customer Reviews

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

Myra (Kim Stanley) knows she is destined for greatness, and the second-rate psychic she seems to be. She enlists (heavily influences) her weak-willed husband, Billy (Richard Attenborough), into a scheme that seems perfectly innocent; they will borrow a child, Amanda (Judith Donner), and then Myra will use her psychic ability to find the child for the parents. Myra will get fame; her husband will get a new car, and everyone will be happy. Everything will go as planned if you don't take into account that something strange is going on. And it is snowballing. The film was shot in black and white, which gives it a spooky and depressing feel. There is sixties English background music, including "Hear my Prayer," Written by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Then again, there are plenty of places where they do not play any background music, and the natural sounds, or lack thereof, can also be spooky. Kim Stanley was nominated for two Oscars, one for portraying the medium with a secret.
