The Eyes of Annie Jones (1964)

Twentieth Century-Fox Film
Directed by Reginald Le Borg
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Fox Movie Channel)

Richard Conte plays a wealthy businessman and playboy in England who hires a hit man to murder his sister so he can inherit her factory. Concerned relatives of the missing girl consult a psychic teenager at the local orphanage to help find her. The teen develops a crush on Conte, which is a bit of a stretch given their age differences and the fact that he is such a heel. His scheme eventually unwinds not because of the girl but because the nervous hit man gives himself away. The unlikeable characters, unimaginative plot, teen romantic and psychic melodrama all add up to little more than a passing diversion.
