First showing on network television for this disturbing ghost story in which an ambitious young doctor takes a large country house for the summer. His wife is thrilled but when she sees the bedroom her husband has chosen for them, she begins to feel uneasy. It is a light, airy attic room, pleasant enough except for the bars on the window and the sickly, patterned wallpaper. This new BBC film is based on an autobiographical novella by American feminist writer
Charlotte Perkins Gilman ; the screenplay is by Maggie Wadey , who adapted Adam Bede , shown yesterday.
Producer Sarah Curtis Director John Clive
