Maybe the best thriller movie ever is on TV tonight

'Beautiful, sad, and properly scary.'

An adaptation of a short story by Daphne du Maurier (Rebecca), the film stars Donald Sutherland (MASH) and Julie Christie (Darling). They play John and Laura Baxter, a couple still grieving the accidental death of their daughter.

The pair travel to Venice in Italy, where John's been commissioned to restore a church. There, Laura meets two sisters (played by Clelia Matania and Hilary Mason) who claim to be in touch with the spirit of the Baxters' daughter.

"Laura takes them seriously, but John scoffs until he himself catches a glimpse of what looks like Christine running through the streets of Venice," the plot synopsis adds.
