A neat little thriller warning nice middle class girls of the dangers of talking to strange men.
Jean (Christina Gregg) is heading home, waiting at the bus stop the telephone rings in an adjacent phone box. She answers it and speaks to a smooth voiced man. Jean gets a bit teenager giddy about it, telling her younger sister Ann (Janina Faye) though not her parents. Every day she speaks to the man again, falling in love, and eventually arranges to meet him for real.
Meanwhile there is a manhunt going on for a maniac who murders young women. Jean starts to get cold feet but is it too late?
A modest but well made film, the pacing is slow but the tension rises. You know Jean is making a big mistake but her teenage innocence drives her on and, well we have plenty of examples of how that innocence has been taken advantage of by groomers in real life. A good film.
