The mystery-thriller movie Bunny Lake is Missing (1965) offers viewers director Otto Preminger’s (Skidoo) dark view of a London less swinging than it is sinister.
Bunny’s script by John and Penelope Mortimer presents a dodgy kind of thriller, in which the central damsel in distress (Carol Lynley, Harlow)—a mother who claims that her child has been snatched from school—may be mad, joining the ranks of eccentrics who surround her.
The film also stars Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) as the heroine’s devoted brother, and Laurence Olivier (Richard III) as a steady-on police inspector, giving one of the more sneakily larcenous performances of his illustrious career. The whole movie is wrapped in a seductive score by Paul Glass, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
This Twilight Time is the Blu-ray debut of Bunny Lake is Missing and contains the following special features:
- Isolated score track
- Audio commentary with film historians Lem Dobbs, Julie Kirgo, and Nick Redman
- Original theatrical trailers
- Liner notes by Julie Kirgo
