Carol Lynley came to Britain in the mid 60’s to shoot a movie with Laurence Olivier entitled “Bunny lake is missing.” The film failed miserably in America at the time, but has now become a cult classic. To this day, the actress looks back upon her performance with justifiable pride.

“I always say it’s ‘my’ movie, but there are some other people in it like Lawrence Olivier, Noel Coward and Keir Dullea”, she says laughing, “It is a wonderful movie, and a wonderful feeling of vindication, because when it came out in America, it was a total flop because the studio wouldn’t give it any support, nothing. I cried for a year, because I worked so hard and I knew it was good. And it hurt that it disappeared. But about 15 years ago, the museums started showing it in retrospect programmes. It is one of Otto’s (Otto Preminger) great films, it was a feeling of vindication for all of us.”
