281 The Beast In The Cellar ( 1970 )


It's  good  that  this  British  effort  by  Tigon  is  set  in  Lancashire  but  it's  so  dark  and  gloomy  throughout  that  it  becomes  difficult  to  watch. Good  performances  from  Flora  Robson  and  Beryl  Reid  as  the  elderly  sisters  nursing  a  dark  family  secret  but  a  few  more  shocksa  wouldn't  have  come  amiss.

Tessa  Wyatt  ( as  Nurse  Rutherford )

Sex :  No

Death : Survives


Tessa  made  few  films  but  has  been  a  successful  TV  actress  for  decades. She  achieved fame  of  an  unwelcome  kind  in  the  late  seventies  when  her  marriage  to  DJ  Tony  Blackburn  failed  and  he  pleaded  with  her  to  come  back  on  air. She  consoled  herself  with  Richard O' Sullivan, her  co-star  in  Robin's  Nest. She's  still  active  with  a  recent  stint  in  Eastenders  behind  her.  She  is  now  69.

Anabel  Littledale  ( as  Gloria )

Sex : Gloria  is  about  to  have  sex  in  a  barn. She  has  her  breasts  rubbed  and  her  knickers  pulled  down

Death : Survives


Little  is  known  about  Annabel  who  made  just  two  films  and  disappears  after  1975.
