Bunny Lake is Missing!



Great cult film from 1965. We saw it on TCM and highly recommend. It's about a single mother who moves to England and when her daughter Bunny turns up missing, the cops can't find any evidence that she ever existed. It was recently ripped off by the Jodie Foster film "Flight Plan" and will be officially remade sometime this year. But see the original. It's creepy weird and has an old crazy lady who records the nightmares of young children into a tape recorder. And Noel Coward as probably the most insensitive landlord ever. The logic sort of falls apart in the end, but by 1965 standards, this is quite a modern film. It's mostly handheld and features some great acting (including Laurence Olivier). Check it!
