Love this film👍👏 In the last few weeks,Christina Gregg herself(now 83 years old but still going strong)sent me a few replies on her You Tube channel and thanked me for liking her films and TV appearances 💖 Sadly,her second husband of 40 years died a few years ago and her son suggested doing a You Tube channel aimed at beauty and fitness tips for older women(she was a top model as well)but some of her tips could be useful to anyone really? She has lived in Canada for years and has been doing the videos for about a year I think. She welcomes all comments on the fitness topics but is also happy for people to comment on her old films as well. Cheers.
Excellent! This is just the age at which young, dreamy and vulnerable girls get into potentially lethal encounters with sinister characters. I was trembling with suspense. The most frightening part is that right now, in some part of the world, just such a terrible drama is unfolding itself and to a far less fortunate end. Thanks so much! I can't to view many more like this one!
Amazing flim! They successfully crammed a full film into an hour -- and it was excellent. By the end there were chills running up and down my spine! Great upload.
Thank you so much for making this (and other great British B movies) available. I found it absolutely chilling, and carried a great message. Unfortunately, over 60 years on nothing much has changed except the way some predators groom their intended victims - these days it's internet chat platforms and the like. I got so annoyed with Jean's naivety and idealism at first - until I remembered myself at 16 and also recalled just how naive and trusting I was at that age. The most poignant bit was when Jean's Dad decides to hide the newspaper that carries the report of the murdered woman - so as not to frighten his daughters. I was almost yelling at the screen, "No, DO let them see it! It acts as a warning!" Sadly, when parents try to shield their daughters (and sometimes sons, too) from the horrors of the world they simply leave them more vulnerable. BTW, does anyone know the identity of the uncredited 'telephone man' whose face we never see? Such a smooth voice, it reminds me of someone - possibly William Franklyn?
Brilliant! Yet another excellent, unusual storyline building up the tension, then that last bit of typical British humour to deflate the tension.... Wow! Thank you!
Love this film. One of my favourites. I've seen it hundreds of times. The sound of the wind at the start and end really sends chills up me. Great film.
Smashing kitchen sink drama!! Sixty two minutes from anyone's life; that's what makes it so thrilling! Would make a great radio drama, too! Another winner from the Flick Vault!!!
Speaking of radio drama, I'm certain I heard this on my transistor radio when I was still at Primary School - so much atmosphere etc. It was also on Talking Pictures TV Channel in recent years. Quite unforgettable.
Love seeing movies where i live. That's Beaconsfield new town when they got to the Cinema and the pub looks like the Black Horse in Fulmer which is near Pinewood Studios, great movie.
Thanks for this wonderful quickie! The Brits made some wonderful short films and this is just one fine example. The bit t the end is priceless! She thumbs a lift from a stranger.... hahaha!
I so love these old movies you know great stories beginning middle and an end and they were not over the top with language sex violence thank you for posting and long may you continue to do it
William Morris? wallpaper! A "coltish", sweet young thing, a girl rather like Jean Shrimpton, my all time favorite model, a voice like, adorable Hayley Mills- and a Pamela Frankin, perky optimism and "pluck", how perfectly divine..The preceding family dinner hour scene struck me as a British Father Knows Best! ( coming from a dysfunctional family, oddly enough I rarely imagine having had a "happy" childhood, but this family made me feel sad- sad for what I missed-) Love your channel, thanks for all the movies not screened elsewhere, I especially love the British flicks...Namaste from Canada
A good drama for its day, during the early 1960's British films were tackling sensitive subjects. Should be updated for the younger people of today. I was 5 years old at the time and remember the horrific attrocities that took place just a year or two later with the Moors Murderers.
I'm still trying to find out who the actor was that played the killer🤔 We never really see him and they cleverly don't put his name in the opening or end credits 😏 He had a very distinctive voice but I still can't place him in anything else? He really added to the suspense with his charming but calculating manner on the phone.
oh, that was good. i just love what the u.k. film industry did with comparatively small budgets. all hinging around a good story and the pace of the telling of it.

Thank you Mr Flick for this delightful after Christmas movie 🍿 Sound is terrific 🌈🌪💫 Superb acting by the children 👶 She is a blessed marvel 🌸 Most kind of you to think of us 🌞 Happy New Year to all 🍒☎️📞
@@jubalcalif9100 regardless of how far we think we've come. Girls are air heads for love/flattery.. (speaking as a generation X and mother of a female generation Z - so I believe I'm qualified...) Some things never change... There's a lesson here. If only they would listen.
This "young girl" and many like her in that generation screamed their heads off 😱 throughout a Beatle concert . Let's not forget the fabulous Dandy Nichols from "Till Death Us Do Part" and "In Sickness and in Health." Finally, in my opinion, Janina Faye is the most brilliant child actor, and as an adult she bears resemblance to the beautiful Barbara Kwiatkowski Lass 😘.
@kennyharris2407 Yes, that was an absolute classic! It was originally titled “Never Take Sweets from a Stranger." I felt intense inner pain when the character of “Jean Carter” was being aggressively questioned in an attempt to discredit her. There is one curse word in the film that was changed for US audiences. When Peter says, “I’ll kill the bastard” was changed to “swine.” Eerily, the character "Clarence Olderberry Sr" did not have a single line of dialogue in the whole film 😱 .
Wow! I knit while watching TV. With this film, I stopped knitting and sat with my mouth open. A lot of suspense. You think about how silly, romantic and naive you are as a young girl, but then you think of how a middle-aged woman could be taken in by this man and a phone too.
Yes - most famous for her part as Alf Garnetts wife - was in many many films including one of my favourite Ladies Who Do - appeared in the series Mrs Thursday
Brilliant. Lead actress was really good, totally convincing of how it is to feel swept up in romantic notions at that age without any idea of the possible dangers. I was certain the younger sister was going to end up a victim and was so relieved when help arrived on time and they got the bastard. How close to danger we often brush, totally unaware. . .
4d. for a phone call, so the cost must still have been a nickel in the US, at the exchange rate of $2.80 to the pound, ceteris paribus. If you were five years old then, you might not have noticed when it went up to a dime.
Watching this at my age, 65 now my cynical side kept screaming, "HANG UP YOU NINNY! Haven't you read the script? OF COURSE he's some insane murderer of young girls!" Then I realized that at her age I was already hitch hiking all over the place at all hours of the day and night naive to the point of beyond ridiculous. Luckily I seldom answered pay phones when they rang. Good thing my wife talked to strange men. I'd still be single to this day. 😅
Indubitably. At times the younger sister seemed to be more mature than the older one. But both of course made foolish mistakes that almost cost them their lives.
@@robwilde855 Dont be so ridiculous! Hitch hiking was never safe. The world was never safe. There has always been predators and as this film demonstrates grooming by telecommunication is nothing new!
Personally, I think the father was very irresponsible to let them go to the pictures in the first place. With a killer on the loose. Rather annoying how it ends so abruptly.
Interesting that they make fun of the little girl's attitude toward fox hunting -- but now the entire country has turned around and taken her position, lol.
@@papuciowy1465 I agree. But I'm not entirely on board with you when you say that empathy toward animals is a "leftist" attitude. i used to be a truly avid hunter -- in my early twenties; but I've come far since then, and now have no interest in killing animals because I now understand that they're just trying to live their lives -- exactly as we are -- and so I'd rather not try to kill them for no good reason (I still eat meat, however, and I would still kill an animal for food if I needed that food). I generally agree with outlawing the kind of mindless butchery that used to be "fox hunting."
@@houndofzoltan I didn't intend to suggest anyone was making fun of anyone. It's just interesting to me that society changes quickly. Unfortunately, sometimes it's for the better, and sometimes not.

That is who it is!!! Been racking my brains as to where i saw him. Thanks for the info!!!

Personally, I think the father was very irresponsible to let them go to the pictures in the first place. With a killer on the loose. Rather annoying how it ends so abruptly.
He allowed it because they'd be together, and the only bus stops they'd be using were close to their house, and in the town itself.
