Hayley Mills and Hywel Bennett star as two young strangers who meet, fall in love, and get married. He is a former chauffeur, and she is an heiress worth millions. Of course, her family is against the whole idea, and their attorney (George Sanders) offers big money for a quick divorce! This does not bother these lovebirds. After all, their relationship is built on stronger stuff. It is a romance for the ages. Enter Britt Ekland (The Wicker Man) as Mills' old friend, and things really get interesting. Ekland moves in w/ the young couple, causing strain on the marriage. Plus, odd occurances begin chipping away at the tranquil atmosphere, causing a rising sense of dread. ENDLESS NIGHT has a nice, sudden jolt to it that takes us from a love story w/ vaguely mysterious elements, and hurls us into a story of greed, insanity, and murder. All of the characters are wonderful, especially Hayley Mills (whom I've loved since the original Parent Trap). As for the major twist in ENDLESS NIGHT, it is said that only 3 people in 100 can see it coming. I was (happily) in the vast majority who had their jaws dropped! Highly recommended...
December 1, 2008This was just like the book written by Agatha Christie. I have read all of her books and this was the scarest and closest to reality. I couldn't believe there was a nude scene!!
October 14, 2008With Hayley Mills, Bernard Herrman, and Agatha Christie, this movie should be excellent, but it is terrible. Containing a very slow moving at the beginning, with a some what nonsensical ending this movie disappoints.

This Agatha Christie thriller has adapted very well to the screen. Hayley Mills and Hywel Bennett make an excellent team in this very dark and mysterious story of love, and greed. Bennett has understood what`s wanted from him for the film and gives a fantastic performance. The haunting theme by Bernard Herrman adds colour and depth to this story which although made in the 70's, has aged very well.
Definitely not to be missed. Dir. Sidney Gilliat.

February 27, 2007 | | Endless Night - dated, but still a good watch | |
For lovers of Agatha Christie and Hayley Mills this is a "should see". Although very early seventies in look, especially the Gypsies Acre dream home, this film still satisfies with a twisted plot and good performances by Mills, Ekland and Bennett.
