Spellbound

Dramatised by Amanda Dalton from the Hitchcock film script by Ben Hecht and the book by Francis Beeding. Staff at Landry House in North Yorkshire are anticipating the arrival of Dr Murchison, who is to replace the retiring head, Dr Edwardes. The rather odd new doctor arrives and forms an unlikely but seemingly strong immediate bond with new trainee Dr Constance Sedgewick. The 1945 film of Spellbound, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is generally thought to be the first to use psychoanalysis as a plot device with the analyst, rather than the detective, responsible for solving the mystery/crime. Directed by Susan Roberts. One episode of one hour. With: ----- Hattie Morahan Benedict Cumberbatch
