SCREAM OF FEAR 1961 (COLUMBIA)

Good Hammer mystery film.

Susan Strasberg stars as a young woman confined to a wheelchair who comes home after a terrible accident and finds that her father is missing. Soon she starts seeing his dead body show up all over the huge estate.

Strasberg is very, very good in the role of Penny and Christopher Lee is the family doctor that helps her out. As the story unfolds it seems like nobody is really who they say they are, and the movie has dozens of plot twists and turns.

Ann Todd plays Strasberg's step-mother, and Ronald Lewis is the chauffeur who has his own dark secrets. Well directed by Seth Holt from a script by Jimmy Sangster, this is recommended viewing. Too bad they just don't make many movies like this anymore.
