Night Watch Audience Reviews

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
ags123 An atmospheric thriller that's a bit short on thrills, "Night Watch" is nonetheless entertaining. Ninety-nine minutes of watching 41-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, still looking good and decked out in Valentino, is reason enough. The successful Broadway play by Lucille Fletcher (ex Mrs. Bernard Herrmann) suffers in its translation to the screen. Like Fletcher's most famous writing credit, "Sorry, Wrong Number," the female protagonist is way too shrill. Poor Laurence Harvey, close to death and generously reunited with his good friend and "Butterfield 8" co-star Taylor, tries hard as the deceitful husband. The ending will satisfy the long, tedious buildup. A fun movie to watch as a distraction when you're home with a cold, but certainly not among Taylor's best.
kapelusznik18 ****SPOILERS**** Both Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey as Ellen & John Wheller play a couple who are coming apart due to Ellen's insistence that she saw a murder committed across the yard separating her and Mr. Appleby's, Robert Lang, houses. With the police called on the scene nothing is found to confirm Ellen Wheller's claims yet she still goes on making a nascence of herself calling the police almost every day claiming that a murder had taken place and the police are ignoring it. It soon comes out that the beautiful but a bit dizzy in the head Mrs. Ellen Wheller had a serious mental breakdown a couple of years ago when her first husband Carl, Kevin Colson, and his secret lover,Linda Hayden, were killed in a car crash while making out, like two baboons in heat, with each other and not keeping their eyes on the road.It's in Ellen's not giving up on her thinking that her husband John as well as her good friend Sarah Cooke,Billie Whitelaw, are somehow behind the imaginary murders that she saw that it's suggested by her shrink-psychiatrist-Mr. Tony,Tony Britton, that she take a long rest in the country and chill out before she goes over the edge. Wth Ellem Wheller going crazier by the day if not hour we soon find out that she's not as crazy as we, the audience as well as movie cast, thinks that she is. It soon turns out that there's a method to her madness and in the end the joke is not on her both on both John & Sarah. It was the crafty and manipulated Ellen by keeping all the cards close to her ample breasts or vest in never letting them in on her plan that had both John and Sarah as well as the police totally underestimate her and not realize just whet her end game was all about. ***SPOILERS***Much like the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock thriller "Rear Window" the ending will shock your pants-or if your a female-panties off. It's then we get to see the real reason to why Ellen is so off the wall and unstable during the entire movie. Looking normal as well as beautiful on the surface Ellen that by making everyone-including the local police-think that she completely nuts the plan that she dreamed up in the end worked to perfection. And by the time anyone realized what it was she was literally gone with the wind together with the family jewels and bank accounts as well as personal property in a place where no one including the police could find her.
Judy Kennedy I saw this movie shortly after it came out it has been permanently etched in my memory ever since. It is truly a classic and one that I have been trying to find to add to my VHS/DVD collection. She also starred in a movie called "The Mirror Crack'd" and, for some time, I thought that was the title I was searching for. Lady Luck smiled on me while browsing a department store video/DVD section and I actually found a copy of "The Mirror Crack'd". It was with mixed emotion; satisfaction that I had purchased the the other Agatha Christie mystery starring Elizabeh Taylor,and disappointment that it was not the one I had been looking for. I have since discovered the proper name of the Title "Night Watch". Does anyone have a suggestion as to how would I go about getting a copy of this movie?
Justin Williams (geminidreamatl24) I have been wanting to see this movie for a very long time since I've been reading so many wonderful reviews and how great the twist was and the fact, this is Elizabeth Taylor's only "horror" film, being a big horror fan myself, I HAD to see it and im glad I did. 33yr old movie and not one movie in Hollywood has ever matched the twist like this one had. Truly one of the most original twist since the sixth sense. Top Nauch acting from Liz who gives again, another tour de force not seen since "Who's afraid of Virigina Wolf?". PLOT: Liz plays Ellen Wheeler, the wife of a rich investment broker in London england who is not happy with her life then one stormy night when she cant sleep, she claims she see's a murder in the house across the garden from hers. she becomes hysterical and her husband (Lawrence Harvey) calls the police and they investigate but find nothing. Then more strange things happen and Liz becomes more and more over the edge and hysterical until her husband and best friend (Billie Whitelaw) decide to put her away. but are hubby Lawrence and friend Billie having an affair and trying to scare liz to death or did a murder really happen? I've seen a lot of murder mystery/thrillers as does my mom shes a huge Agatha Christie fan and always guesses the murderer/ending but neither her nor I guessed this one. one of the most original endings ever made. I wish movies today could still make such a suspenseful impact the way thrillers did back in the day. terrific scenes of the storm, great atmosphere, never gets dull or lets up. a must for anyone who loves great mystery thrillers. I hope it comes on DVD one day with an audio commentary by Liz. defiantly one of Liz's better films in the latter part of her career.
