Bunny Lake Is Missing DVD

 Absorbing, literate and evocative.
This fascinating mystery has been made in the tradition of Otto Preminger's classic "Laura", that established him as a top director in the late Forties. Since it would not be fair to spoil the film by revealing much of the story and particularly the ending, let's say only that Bunny Lake is a small girl, who turns up missing in London. At least, so her mother says. "Bunny Lake is Missing" is handsome, well- acted (especially by Sir Laurence Olivier and Carol Lynley - possibly her best performance) and exciting; a slick melodrama from an exceptionally well-written screenplay by Penelope Mortimer, and a memorable music score by Paul Glass. Creamy smooth suspense with a genuinely intriguing premise.

 Buy the Book
I was sorely dissappointed in the movie after having read the book. The book was perfect in its set up for suspense. The movie changed the story, adding and deleting characters, changing the very essence of the book. Carol Lynley's portrayal of a distraught mother of a missing child is completely unbelievable. I hope the remake is better, but don't waste your money on this movie - buy the book and have good read.

 Excellent thriller
This is a great surprise. A really cool thriller about a woman trying to convince the police that her daughter is missing. But the facts seem to lead the police to think she is making the whole thing up. Great acting by everyone and plenty of suspense. It puts the similartly themed "The Forgotten" to shame.
