What a superb film. Great story and casting. I always thought Patrick Wymark was a good actor. He had a most distinctive voice. I remember him from the Power Game with the beautiful Barbara Murray. Quality British film and television industry back in the day. Thank you for sharing.
@@stephenwilliams1269 Much remembered Wymark in The Power Game tv series (1965-1969). Sir John Wilder (Patrick Wymark), previously seen in 'The Plane Makers', ruthlessly pursues boardroom machinations and tangled relationships.
He was actually born in Grimsby . ! The magnificent voice was no doubt courtesy of RADA...? Sadly ,poor Patrick passed away in 1970 at only 44 years old . Heart attack.. Life is Cruel and completely random. Make the most of it while you can.....!!
The good old BBC was the best in the world at radio and tv for a very long time. It also had a very big part in spawning the first true movie industry in the world, in England. It was Charlie Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock who taught Hollywood how to do it.
I last saw this movie about 58 years ago in a Freddie Francis double bill with his other psycho horror-thriller, "The Skull" with Peter Cushing. Good stuff.
THANK YOU very much for uploading the entire film. Very good print. Had never even heard of this British thriller til it was recommended to me by RUclips. Good script and cast, I must say.
One guesses that this is bound to be an excellent film, when It has Patrick Wymark in a lead role, plus the storyline from Robert Bloch. Films featuring dolls are always sinister, this one being particularly spooky.
Great colors in this movie. Creepy at every turn: bizarre woman with German accent ("meine Lieblings"), scary dolls, weird incel, restaurant with gold reproductions of great naked woman statues, strange murder vehicles, sexy girls in danger.
@@glenncox9128 I can think of many films with a mild similarity, or even a great one, like Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, with Olivia DeHavilland. And the movie that was a lot like it, with Bette Davis and the other old lady who played her crippled sister. Bette Davis was the ugly old lady who in the movie had been a child star, and was mentally stuck there, so she was crazy, and she tortured her crippled sister. The famous actress who played the crippled sister was always feuding with Davis, and she was the subject of her real life daughter's tell-all book called Mommy Dearest. She was in Rain, and in Freaks, and Queen Bee, among MANY others. Her name, and the name of the movie with Davis are both super well known, but I'm very forgetful of names.
loved this! and if I may suggested this idea: Peter Falk must have watched this a few times. Even the line: One more thing... can be found herein. The trench coat! which can be traced to Tati and Pink Panther but i believe the inspector Holloway left his mark on Columbo! I am probably wrong...
Millions of men wore trench coats, including many detectives. Imho, I don't see any connection between this and the Columbo character, but that's just my opinion.
Do not remove your comment. Your impression is valid whether anyone else thinks so or not. The rudeness of being told your impression is wrong should not deter you from speaking out. My 3 very stupid sisters think I'm not any more valid than my opinions. My brain runs circles around theirs. I think outside the box and they"re still thinking like they've been told to think. Which means they do not think at all. But baby sister surely doesn't havecanything worth saying. Then a week later a sister comes to me with this groundbreaking new theory--- and simply repeats what I had said the week before, word for word. So they do listen. Their friends are impressed by their insight. My insight. I'm 67. They are 76, 77 and 80. One has a Master's degree. She did not know what a Sherpa is. (I'm still stunned at that 3 decades later.) I graduated high school. My four year old comes out with words like dissipating. She tried to twist it to say he didn't use it properly. Hey, the kid was playing the floor is magma under the kitchen table and he'd just fallen in. He was, indeed, dissipating into steam in the molten rock. Eventually that sister accused him of things he did not do, could not do, nor would have ever done. It exacerbated the illness that was slowly killing him. He'd be 44 now. He let pneumonia take him He saw no reason to continue the torture of betrayal from cousins (who know he didn't do what he was accused of) that grew up as brothers to him. This is the sister who follows the teachings of the Dalai Lama. I wish I grew up with brothers.
I've been trying to identify this one for decades (the dumb title didn't help)! Not my usual fare (though the premise is more intelligent than the usual "slasher gotta slash" drivel), but the payoff is exceptionally memorable. Another mystery solved - and I'd never have figured it was Amicus.

At least 1 was multiple ads, at least 3 or 4, making it at least SEVENTEEN ads MINIMUM. All in a movie that was mediocre at best. Many people would call it a lousy film. And on top of that, they also deleted two more of my comments below, even though the comments said nothing wrong, and even though there is at least one other comment here that is VERY rude.

He seems to be half pissed in his opening scene. Still a compelling actor.
"He had a most distinctive voice."
He is channeling Charles Laughton

Fantastic lurid colour ! It's definitely a british take on mid 60s Italian giallo movies....reminded me of Blood and Black Lace
Best of British. Superb script. Superb acting. Great cinematography so evocative of the period.
Written by Robert Bloch, directed by Freddie Francis : it can't go wrong!
Really good! An extraordinary detective story with a good plot and good pictures.
Wonderful. Great to see a sharp print. Thank you so much for posting.
Written by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho.
I’m not even 30 minutes in, and this film seems quite interesting.
Amicus made some very good films.
Brilliant little cameo from the doll shop manager..!! No name unfortunately...
Might have provided a role model for Mr Humphreys.... ? ( John Inman )
_"Personally, I never want to sell anything you couldn't cuddle."_
Now, *there's* a work ethic!
I appreciated him too!
This definitely took inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, 1960.
Robert Bloch, who wrote this, also wrote Psycho.
@@Beelzebubbles759 Thank you for that info!
I can't believe that I just watched this! 😆
@@wendysw714 I couldn’t, fast forward the whole film 🍿
Old lady hangs her dolls by there legs with chains..Found the psycho.😊

Half way through. Really enjoying this, thanks 👍🏻
Couldn’t get much more creepier than that!
The dolls alone terrified me 😂
that was one strange movie good but strange thank you for the posting
you can tell when the actors have no clue how to play string instruments. their fingers are absolutely still on the frets.
😅😂
What a crackpot movie . Loved it ! . ❤ Thanks . Dave

Awesome Movie! Must watch!

Yes. British movies were the best for many, many decades. Now there is no country with the monopoly on the best films.

Far too many adverts to enjoy watching
Omg what a great movie
thumbs up! good movie.
What a pleasant surprise!
Esse filme impactante pra época! Muito bom, como restauradora e colecionadora de dolls fiquei surpresa, não sabia que o envolvia no enredo
That was really good!
Very Good! Thank you.
Good mystery that''s for sure! Thank you :)
John Standing was in reality the 4th Baronet of Leon, and descended from Royalty
To everyone bitching about the odd blooper or whatever , stfu and just try n enjoy the movie.
Hold your hostility for krisake! Noticing a blooper and laughing about it is not the same as bitching about it. It's YOU who is doing the bitching!
I said nothing wrong, ESPECIALLY in comparison to the original poster of this thread. PUT MY COMMENT BACK!
But is not banging on about the errors - AND enjoying the film - double the fun?

The woman in the wheelchair reminds me of the woman and sounds like the woman who was in a wheelchair in Dep's The Ninth Gate.
So there was a street lamp in middle of the dead end path and then it wasn’t there conveniently for the car to run him over
Don't nit pick errors, you're not the director. Just enjoy the movie!
@@isellehalforty1219 you mean the director did it on purpose 😀
@@isellehalforty1219 the thing is you can’t enjoy movies if there are stupid mistakes like that

Great film!
I was 12 when they, made the movie if. Only i could be 12 again

This is a very amusing psycopath show.
The Dolls 😳🙈
Quite a good scary dolls film😮
Those dolls were so creepy
Thankyou x
If the son broke his back when those giant chains fell on him, how did his mother get him out and back home and up those stairs?
This is too much of a spoiler 😒
There were more holes in this plot than in sieve...
Well that was a weird one to say the least.
I love you mama

Oh the days when English films had have an American in it!
Everyone except Americans are sick to death of seeing them, in very large part due to their bigotry and zenophobia, exactly as that comment shows.
