Night Watch (1973)(dvd)

Synopsis: Reminiscent of Gaslight, this thriller stars Elizabeth Taylor as a woman recovering from a nervous breakdown who thinks she sees a corpse outside her window. Could it be the work of her husband (Laurence Harvey in his final film), who may or may not be having an affair with her best friend (Billie Whitelaw)?

The actors give the tired plot all they've got, but director Brian G Hutton (Where Eagles Dare, Kelly's Heroes) is more concerned with action than atmosphere, abbreviating tension where it should be given time to accumulate.

Cast: James Franciscus
Runtime: 98 min
