This gem of a movie directed with uncharacteristic subtlety by Otto Preminger and based on the novel by Evelyn Piper is really a clever and very involving movie. Set in England, Carol Lynley plays a young American single mother who drops her daughter off at school and finds that she's no where to be found when she comes back to collect her. Does the child exist? Nobody seems to recall her and as Lynley searches all over London looking for her the tension becomes palpable. Laurence Olivier gives an un-showy performance as the police inspector who seems to be the only person who believes Lynley. Preminger assembles one of his typically eclectic supporting casts: Noel Coward, Keir Dullea, Martita Hunt, and, on TV in one scene, The Zombies. Seeing oddballs Lynley & Dullea share the screen is a treat. The excellent titles are by Saul Bass.
