After watching some of a film that's really not suitable to watch while at work I decided to watch this.
Assault. 1971.
A school girl is raped and murdered in the woods taking a short cut home, a few days later another girl is murdered, the police and a reporter team up to find the culprit.
Peter rogers who produced the Carry On films took a break from them and created this film from the novel by Kendal Young (which I haven't read). Most of the violence is done off screen, we do see the aftermath of the dead body with a shirt ripped open and bra exposed, a teacher getting a bit hands on while a girl is on a stool but that's as far as things go.
Suzy Kendall plays the art teacher who becomes bait to lure out the sexual predator, Frank Finlay plays the baffled detective on the case and Freddie Jones as the reporter who may be a ideal help. There is some twist and turns along the way but the acting is not the best at times but certainly helped pass time.
