Liz taylor plays ellen wheeler, six years after her last big hit, the comedians. As others have pointed out, night watch feels like a hitchcock film, but was really directed by brian hutton. Hutton had just directed liz in x,y, and zee the year before this, but it's not a well known film. Co-stars laurence harvey as the husband john; harvey only made one film after this, passing away from cancer at 45. In the story, ellen is bored, and suffers from insomnia. And sees strange things going on at the house next door, during a thunder storm. When they call the cops, they find nothing in the old house next door. But that's not the end of the story. Good suspense. Some fun twists and turns. Based on the play by lucille fletcher. Fletcher had also written sorry, wrong number, a blockbuster starring barbara stanwyck. That one also started out as a play, performed on the radio.
