Sir Richard Fordyke returns to his family seat with his new bride Lady Elizabeth and soon strange events start to occur.Why do people accuse him of certain acts, who is the woman in white who haunts him and who is murdering young women on the estate? It doesn't take much guessing to work out the answers but this is a surprisingly gripping film from director Robert Hartford-Davis with lots of gothic atmosphere enhanced by good cinematography from Peter Newbrook and lovely art direction from Allan Harris. A fine low budget well told tale.
The actors all perform well and the supporting cast includes welcome stalwarts of the 1960's British film industry including Ann Lynn, Peter Arne, Norman Bird,Francis De Wolff, Patrick Troughton and Joseph Tomelty, The latter is moving as the decrepit Sir Giles Fordyke. John Turner is OK as Sir Richard but the part needed a stronger actor. Heather Sears as Lady Elizabeth doesn't have much to do as the sympathetic wife but does look beautiful in her period costume.
