The Last Chapter

Dark tale in which a best-selling author (Denholm Elliot) is unbalanced by an assured young fan (Susan Penhaligon) who questions the move into easy commercialism displayed in his recent work.

Dark tale directed by prolific assistant director David Tringham in which a best-selling author (Denholm Elliot) working on the last chapter of his latest book receives a visit from a provocative seventeen-year-old school girl (Susan Penhaligon) who questions the move into easy commercialism displayed in his recent work. This intriguing, beguiling film originally played as a support feature to Roy Boulting’s wartime comedy Soft Beds, Hard Battles (released 1974).
