While THE STEPFORD WIVES may be his mostly widely known title, SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON may be his best film. A very taut psychological thriller which Forbes was nominated for a Screenplay Oscar. THE WRONG BOX is a very amusing 60s caper comedy. The other SF credit for Bryan Forbes is acting in the obscure British film SATELLITE IN THE SKY.

Stepford Wives - meh............. Seance is great as is The Wrong Box. Satellite In The Sky is lot of fun and should play at the marathon. It is on DVD. It features Irish actor Kieron Moore (sci-fi hero of this as well as Crack In The World, Day of The Triffids), Lois Maxwell aka Miss Moneypenny, Donald Wolfit, Mr Forbes.
