Deadly Strangers

Deadly Strangers is a 1975 film about a patient at Greenwood, an institution for the criminally insane, has escaped. Concurrently, a young woman named Belle Adams, traveling on her own, is trying to make her way from the Greenwood area to the south coast, specifically to Wickham, where she has not been since she lived there when she was a child. Following the deaths of her parents in a car accident, she became a ward of her uncle, that being the reason for moving from Wickham. Out of circumstance, she changes what was her original plan of taking the train to Wickham, to accepting vehicle rides from strangers, including Jim Nicholls, a lecherous lorry driver, and Malcolm Robarts, an eccentric older American expatriate who still retains a romantic sensibility. Who Belle ends up spending most of the time with on her trek is a young Birmingham based traveling salesman named Stephen Slade, who demonstrates that he has a bit of a temper and imbibes just a little too much, perhaps to calm his nerves which can spark his temper. Both Belle and Stephen's interactions with each other are colored by relationships from their past, Belle's with her uncle and Stephen's with an ex-girlfriend. Their time together is also overshadowed by a potentially violent encounter they have with a couple of bikers. Still with no news of the escapee in the papers, Belle catches Stephen in what look to be a couple of lies. Could these lies be hiding that he is the escapee and thus a murderer?
