Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964)

This stunning psychological thriller stands out as a showcase for legendary theatrical actress Kim Stanley, as a psychotic medium. Her plan to kidnap a child, only to "discover" the whereabouts later goes hopelessly awry. The late, great actor-director Richard Attenborough shines as her hapless husband and partner in crime. This is absolutely riveting, a must-see, although not for the faint of heart.
