Joey Fane: No, *really* balmy, know what she did when she found Susy?
The nanny: [flashback, finding Susy in the tub] There you are, I've been looking all over for you.
Joey Fane: She bathed her, she had all her clothes on, she was DEAD, and she bathed her, and she talked to her while she was doing it, as if it were all normal.

Creepy, Great Bette

This is one of those 1960's black & white British horror films that pack a wallop. I saw it on Tv as a young kid and it creeped me out and Bette Davis' performance haunted me. I saw it again not too long ago and was suprised how well it stood up. A nice simple story told with powerful flashbacks, Bette Davis gives a terrific, controlled performance as the perfect nanny to a dysfunctional family -a non-caring hard working father, a neurotic mother, a troubled boy and a darling little girl, cute as can be. But the family has a tragedy and what really happened? Well acted, well shot, a good late at night treasure.
