A young, introverted butterfly collector (Terrence Stamp) in a secluded big house with a separate cellar, moves up his territory when he kidnaps a pretty art school student (Samantha Eggar). After begging and pleading and escape attempts, they sort of agree on their terms - he will let her go after 4 weeks, hoping she will fall in love with him.
With only two principal actors (plus one small character in the middle), this John Fowles adaptation feels more like a play. Young Stamp is intense, playing the role of creepy, shy man with chips on his shoulders. Is it sex that you want from me? Miranda the art student asks him. No. He wants to respect her as a proper woman. There is a big confrontation over Catcher in the Rye. Their class differences are highlighted and the gap between them is obviously too wide. Intriguing psychological drama. #thecollector #williamwyler #terencestamp #samanthaeggar #adaptation #johnfowles

William Wyler’s The Collector based on John Fowles' novel was subject matter that would need careful handling in 1965.

A kind of horror movie, but very low-key subtle horror with the focus on psychological horror.

A young man collects butterflies but decides that collecting a girl would be even more fun, so he kidnaps one. He decides to keep her.
