The apparent suicide of an eminent psychologist prompts his teenage daughter (Pamela Franklin) and one of his patients (Stephen Boyd) to investigate. Convinced he was murdered, the two begin a journey into the lives and twisted psychoses of the doctor's disturbed patients. Directed by the great Charles Crichton, stunningly photographed by Douglas Slocombe, and starring an incredible cast which includes Jack Hawkins, Richard Attenborough, Diane Cilento and Judi Dench in one of her earliest screen roles, The Third Secret is a dark and elegant psychological thriller which has long been overlooked, but is now ripe for rediscovery.
