This is a rare Bitish adaptation of a Poe story, not terribly exciting but worth a look for the performances. There is a plot hole where the heroine hears a lamp smash in the house across the street but didn't hear the noisy murder there the night before.
Edgar Marsh ( Laurence Payne ) is a shy, porn-obsessed librarian who spies on his new neighbour Betty undressing in the house across the street. He is encouraged by his friend Carl ( Dermot Walsh ) to make contact with her and a relationship of sorts is formed. However when Carl is introduced to her they become lovers. Edgar doesn't take it very well.
Adrienne Corri ( as Betty )
Sex : Betty sleeps with Carl , observed by Edgar
Death : Survives
Adrienne looks lovely in this but it's a pity the undressing scenes are filmed from so far away.
Rosemary Rotheray ( as Jackie )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
An obscure bit part actress active in the early sixties.
Elisabeth Paget ( as Elsie )
Sex : Elsie is a prostitute
Death : Survives
This is Elisabeth's only film although she made a couple of TV appearances in the late sixties.
