Dark Places (1974)

"You still think that money is here, don't you?"

"I know it is. And so do you, otherwise you'd have sold up the estate long ago."

"You have no right to Andrew Marr's money."

"None whatever, my dear Prescott. Any more than you have."

Jean Marsh is conspicuously high in #the credits but doesn't actually appear until the final 15 mins.. but when she does... an amazingly chilling‚ disturbing performance

DARK PLACES (1974) - JANE BIRKIN: A VISUAL HOMMAGE (Part 4/10)

Even if - by 1970 - she was fully living in France, JANE BIRKIN never forgot her English roots and made sure she would become known as an Actress there and not just the singer of Serge Gainsbourg's songs.

In 1974 she was cast as co-headliner in the all-star cast for this murder mystery horror movie where she displays both terror and scheming .

Above are 2 posters from Italy (Click on each images for details)

Director: Don Sharp

Actors: Jane Birkin, Joanne Collins, Christopher Lee, Herbert Lom

Goodbye Jane (1946-2023)

Quote

Art, too, is dangerous: two vampires, brother and sister, 'mesmerize' a young bride during the playing of a passionately romantic piano piece. And just as The Brides of Dracula nuanced the traditionally Manichean distinction between the living and the undead, so, here, the newly vampired of this sub-species can brace daylight for short periods, if it's an overcast sky. For all that, the film doesn't escape the pitfall of its theme. Far from raising immorality to the level of vampire horror, it reduces vampirism to immorality, which, for censorship reasons is, in its turn, reduced to rather sedate orgies. Sharp, no mean stylist, doesn't really believe in the supernatural. The cold wind tearing autumn leaves remains simply a cold wind tearing autumn leaves.

Nachdem wir keine rechte Kraft für die Affen oder Werwölfe aufbringen konnten (aber sie werden unweigerlich über kurz oder lang wieder auftauchen) entschieden wir uns dann wie prophezeit für eine Schurkenrolle im Gedenkfilm für den immer fleißigen David Warner: Als skrupellosen Landesverräter in der 70er-Jahre-Neuverfilmung von The Thirty-Nine Steps. Sie kommt etwas werkgetreuer, aber betulicher daher als Alfred Hitchcocks unseriöse Ausdeutung, obwohl sich Robert Powell als unfreiwilliger Hobbyspion eigentlich besser zu helfen weiß als Robert Donat, ist aber zauberhaft ausgestattet und bietet in Verneigung vor der Hitchcockblondine doch eine irritierende schöne Frau. Sie ist vor allem deshalb irritierend, weil man sie sonst eigentlich nur als kleines Mädchen in Mary Poppins präsent hat.
