I
Start Counting (1970)(dvd)
Synopsis: Director David
Greene forged a reputation for thrills with The Shuttered Room and The Strange
Affair, but he taxed the patience with this manipulative whodunnit. There are
so many dead ends in this adaptation of Audrey Erskine Lindop's sinuous novel
that it soon becomes a matter of indifference whether Bryan Marshall is
responsible for the series of sex attacks near his home.
Much more
intriguing, however, is the effect the slayings have on his foster sister,
Jenny Agutter, whose hero worship is both disturbing and potentially deadly.
Agutter was even more impressive in her next two pictures, The Railway Children
and Walkabout
