1hr 10mins
Dir: Michael McCarthy
Starring: Donald Houston and Natasha Parry

A newly-wed wife of a young doctor goes to live with him in an oppressive old house where various mysterious attempts are made on her life

This drama was based on the 1950 novel of the same name by Dorothy Eden. It features a good shot of Gomshall and Shere station on the North Downs line in Surrey, with a train arriving behind an ex-SR N Class 2-6-0. The station is now just plain Gomshall.

Natasha Parry arrives at the local station as a train approaches
Turning around the train rolls in behind her in the capable hands of an N Class 2-6-0
After the train comes to a halt Natasha Parry attempts to board only for a friend to stop her
Melissa Stribling and Natasha Parry ‘having a goss’ by the station running in board. It is so pleasing to see an actual station, in this case Gomshall and Shere, playing the part of itself and not given some other name just for the film. It helps with identification too!!
