Flight of the Doves

[cobyrne]

Hi, I saw this British film as a young girl and would love to see it again. This film I recall from the 1970s? is about two children (brother and sister I believe) who are taken down the English coast by an old lady. She tries to kill them or something and they realise she is in fact a man dressed as a woman. She falls off the cliff and dies. That is all I can remember!!! any help greatly appreciated. Anna

Hi



It sounds like it could be the 1971 film 'Flight of the Doves' with Jack Wild & Ron Moody, actually set in Ireland. It's about two young children on the run while being chased by their villainous uncle (Ron Moody) who is a master of disguise. It's out on dvd.

Will these images help Anna to confirm David is right?:

IMDB reveals Jack did have a sister in the movie, played by Helen Raye with Dana, the singer, as a traveller:
