    The Survivor

    Airline pilot David Keller walks away from a passenger plane crash which killed everybody else aboard, although he is unable to remember what happened. But soon he and the people around him are haunted by mysterious happenings. [David Hemmings, 1981]



    Keller ...... Robert Powell

    Hobbs ...... Jenny Agutter

    The Priest ...... Joseph Cotten

    Beth ...... Angela P McGregor





    Anyone seen this (Fell you must have!!). Any good?



    Cheers,

    A

    A bit like The Sixth Sense crossed with Fearless. The directing lets the film down and it's a bit muddled, lacking in any real tension.



    Miss Agutter keeps her clothes on so Fell might not have watched it!

    To coin a phrase - I resemble that remark!

    Yes, she does and yes, I have.



    To be honest, as it isn't my kind of film apart from the obvious attraction, I wouldn't rate it too highly. That said, I watched it again and it was better than I'd first thought.



    For those who have been in email contact with me, the thought of Mr Powell struggling with Miss Agutter was too delicious a thought



    Two of the more attractive images from a very dark, in many ways, film:

    FELL [who is more than happy to simply listen to Miss Agutter's voice like dripping honey on cd]
