Full Plot Details

Myra and Billy Savage are a married couple living in London. Myra works as a medium, who holds weekly meetings, séances, for a regular group of customers, while Billy supports her in these ventures, as he does not otherwise work, due to his asthma. "Arthur" is her spirit guide, who was their stillborn son. Myra is the dominant in the couple, Billy, the weak-minded follower. Myra, with Billy's support, devises a scheme to raise her public prominence as a medium: kidnap Amanda Clayton, the young daughter of a wealthy couple, and using her psychic powers provide information to the Claytons and the police of Amanda and the requested ransom money's whereabouts. Myra and Billy view this scheme as a victimless crime, if a crime at all, as they don't plan on harming Amanda, and they are returning the requested ransom. To carry out the scheme successfully, they will have to: kidnap Amanda; convince Amanda that her temporary captivity is not out of the ordinary, while having her not be able to identify them; insert Myra into the case of Amanda's kidnapping, her information which will be the key to finding Amanda and the money; and return Amanda and the money without having either traced back to them. Beyond these logistics, Myra and Billy themselves will factor into how the plan works. Myra may have either conscious or subconscious thoughts on what she wants to do, in her belief that she truly does have the power.

Examiner.com - 8/10 by Phil HallHighly effective psychological thriller, with a stunning star turn from Kim Stanley.
Monthly Film Bulletin - 8/10 by MFB CriticsIf one says that the best things about Séance on a Wet Afternoon are the performances of Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough and Bryan Forbes' script, this is not to decry Forbes' direction. In fact he does an excellent job.

User Review - 10/10 by Stephen EKim Stanley is a wild cat capable of driving any sanity standard out of its boundaries! Flawless performances and an eerie cinematography elegantly decorate this dark-toned, top-notch thriller exceptionally written and perfectly adapted from an unknown novel. Underrated British gem of 1964. 98/100
User Review - 10/10 by Branden WSeance on a Wet Afternoon is undoubtedly a masterpiece of 60's cinema. The film's clever artifice and dark humor have rarely been equalled in common contemporary "kidnapping" charades. Kim Staley is a manipulative yet strangely comic figure, fabricating her abilities as a "psychic medium", and wielding mind tricks designed for an elaborate scheme for a ransom pay. The originality of the film does not lie only in Staley's incredible performance, for the mystery and suspense evoked may equal any detective or film noir of the period. Inspired by the novel, the film describes the reality of the "common man as criminal", ordinary and not the least bit evil. For a change, the "criminals" are well-liked and possibly favored, as they are characters whose consolations lie not in rebellion or evil, but in the demonstration of their own compelling vitality.
User Review - 10/10 by C.J. AThis '60s British thriller wears its Hitchcock influences loud and proud, and that's certainly not a bad thing when its loaded with such fully drawn characters, creeptastic suspense, and a heartbreaking examination of grief, guilt, and how the two intertwine in the most dangerous of ways.
User Review - 10/10 by David FKim Stanley gives the most rivetting performance of all time in this movie. What a shame she lost Oscar to julie Andrews in Mary Poppins.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeff BExcellent suspenseful film, I knew nothing about it before I saw it, so I was completely surpised when the story unfolded. Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough were both incredible in it. Attenborough's retrieving of the ransom money was very intense. I wish this film had gotten more recognition, it was a pretty dark film, considering it was made in 64.
