One of a Kind
by tommy_griffin2000-05-11

"I saw this movie on television as a child. After almost 40 years, it still stays in my mind, and I can, even now, remember certain scenes, especially the ending. To me, this is what movies are all about. I don't own a DVD player and, unfortunately, this movie seems to be available only on DVD. Ah well, I suppose I'll have to buy a DVD player soon. Give yourself a rare treat and watch this movie. I guarantee you'll be moved. You may even find yourself with a tear in your eye...."

💡 Did You Know?

The scene in which Gillie is re-enacting the murder inside the apartment for the police was ad-libbed by Hayley Mills. Sir John Mills and Director J. Lee Thompson told her the basic plot for the scene and instructed her to just make it up.

Regarding daughter Hayley's acting abilities, John Mills said when they started filming "I simply couldn't believe what was happening. She looked as if she'd been born in front of a camera."
