The Woman in Black

Herbert Wise directs this Victorian ghost story based on the novel by Susan Hill. Upon his arrival in the village of Crythin Gifford, solicitor Arthur Kidd (Adrian Rawlins) meets with local superstition and prejudice on a grand scale. While attempting to administer the estate of the late Alice Drablow, Kidd keeps seeing a vision of a lady in black (Pauline Moran) who, legend has it, has placed a curse upon the village.

After he himself is cursed for saving a gypsy child, Kidd makes the acquaintance of local landowner Sam Toovey (Bernard Hepton), and decides to get to the bottom of the mystery.
