****SPOILERS***The love sick chain smoking and mentally unhinged Charlie Mullen, Jeremy Brett, has been stalking Tracey Lawrence, Anne Heywood, for months and finally got his chance to get her alone when her husband Geoffrey, Richard Todd,was out to work. That only for him ending up to get splashed in his face with a chemical mixture that Tracey mixed up for a neighbor, little Silina- played by 7 year old Verina Greenlaw- who fell and scraped herself, when he tried to attack and grab on to her. That not only resulted in Tracey going into shock but also losing her baby due to a miscarriage. With her husband Geoffrey and the police trying to apprehend the fleeing Mullen Tracey now loses all interest in men as well as her husband Geoffrey in him trying to comfort her in him reminding her of Mullens' attempted assault on her.
What also happened is that incredibly Tracey developed a feeling for her attacker that kept her from helping the police from capturing hi. That even when he was caught and she was told to identify him in a police line up which she refused to do. This not only freed Mullen but emboldened him to continue his stalking of her that lead to the films shocking final. That's when Mullen caught Tracey alone on a roof and almost childishly tried to make up for all the trouble her had caused her!
****SPOILERS**** Ahead of its time movie about a sexual predator that in fact shows his side, as crazy as it is, of the story. Mullen as we find out really didn't want to hurt or rape Tracey but just get to know and be friendly with her. The fact that she was married and he was unstable didn't come into the equation with him that lead to his tragic end. Not by the police or even Tracey, who's attempt to kill herself stopped Mullen dead in his tracks, but when knowing its all over Mullen took a flying leap that finally ended his obsession about her!
