THE EYES OF ANNIE JONES-1964-In the English countryside a mill manager Geraldine Wheeler is killed (and her body hidden) in a pre-credits scene. Her Aunt Helen (Joyce Carey) hires young Annie Jones (Francesca Annis) an orphan described as a "dirty, unattractive child" to use her psychic powers to find the Carol. Carol's brother American raised David (Richard Conte) and his wife are unconvinced but Annie does find his missing cuff link. Later David is not sure he wants his sister found as he has been embezzling money from the mill (which sis owned). Meanwhile a murderer hangs around.
It's kind of talky and simple but the short running time helps. It's based on a story by American mystery writer Henry Slesar and was the second to last film directed by (also American) Reginald Le Borg (THE BLACK SLEEP, VOODOO ISLAND).
Thanks for reading!
