MOVIE CHOICE SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

(1991) 15 ◆ 9PM, GREAT! MOVIES ★★★★ Julia Roberts hit the big time with the romantic comedy Pretty Woman in 1990, but with this film and the one immediately before it, the creepy horror film Flatliners, she explored her darker side. This psychological thriller takes its cues from Alfred Hitchcock, with Roberts as the abused wife who takes drastic action to escape from her nasty husband (Patrick Bergin, right, with Roberts) by faking her own death.

THE INNOCENTS

(1961) 12 ◆ 11.50PM, TALKING PICTURES TV ★★★★★ Splendid film of Henry James’s The Turn Of The Screw, from Jack Clayton, an expert in literary adaptations. Doe-eyed Deborah Kerr stars as the naive governess who fears her two charges are in thrall to evil spirits. Atmosphere and subtext create gloomily superior suspense and chills.
