I came across this truly brilliant film on the best film channel around Talking Pictures ( they have small budgets but big knowledge )
As it is a Hammer film you kinda expect a bit of schlock and sensationalism but that couldn't be further from the truth ,this is hard hitting and bloody scary .
The characters are a bit stiff upper lip and of the time but in some ways that adds to the unexpected power and brilliant direction , without doubt an under rated great British film .
The sheer casualness of the way the girls relate the allegations against the old man ( incredibly terrifying perfomance ) sucks you into a false flag this is brutal and incredibly brave film making .
Without spoiling it I was rooted to the spot by the ending .
Please check it out worth 100 Save the cinemas.

A top notch ITV production
The writer Michael Chaplin delivers a crisp , subtle and brilliant screenplay , Mike Hodges directs with understated menace but also a lot of charm .
The period detail is spot on , the atmosphere gripping but stifling .
Michael Kitchen is fabulous , Sarah Miles , venomous , David Thewlis is excellent in a very early role and Lesley Sharp delivers as a bit of a strumpet .
The details of the case are very accurately portrayed and the ending is very unusual and quite ambiguous .
ITV drama has recently returned to this top level of quality with programmes like Anne and Stonehouse .

It felt like Hitchcock was exploding with creative ideas and he threw them all at this oddity , both in terms of cinematography and lighting .
I loved it , the dialogue was so witty and dark , to the reviewer who complained about "Stop here for dainty teas ", it was what they used to call a JOKE , the coach being hijacked at high speed couldn't possibly stop at the dainty tea house !
Leon M Lion is bonkers but brilliant , apparently Hitchcock didn't get on with him , but it is his film .
The train sets are badly models and detract but the lighting , atmosphere and dialogue mean this early Hitchcock is worth a look .
