Unearthly Stranger (1963)
Things begin to go wrong for scientist John Neville when his beautiful but otherworldly wife becomes of interest to his superiors in the government, meaning both he and his wife are in great danger.
Definitely of it's time and possibly too talky for a modern audience, Unearthly Stranger is quietly compelling viewing. The film is intriguing and thought provoking and nicely atmospheric thanks to it's stark black and white photography. Also it's not a spoiler to say Unearthly Stranger has one hell of a final scene.
The cast headed by Neville also includes Jean Marsh and Warren Mitchell and the lovely Gabriella Licudi as Neville's wife.
An almost forgotten slice of British cinema, Unearthly Stranger is recommended for those into sci-fi or with an appreciation of British films.
