Quiz
The title derives from the tradition that Victorian/Edwardian pharmacists (such as Edward Sutton) would dispense all drugs in a package sealed up with pink string and sealing wax; doing this would prove that the product had not been adulterated on its way to the customer.

Blooper
Gordon Jackson as David Sutton, one of the elder children of five in the Sutton household, is the only one with a Scottish accent. It appears after the first few scenes.

Withers at her very best

Having read the reviews below, I think this film has received short shrift from the reviewers, so I give it a 10 because I was totally won over by the suspense. Perhaps it is because the reviewers did not get too immersed in the story line as Hamer intended or that they had preconceived notions about the actors as indicated by their unfair criticisms. I thought the actors held up pretty well in their roles, totally compelling and the dialogue highly entertaining. In particular Googie Withers who I felt gave her best appearance worthy of an Oscar were she to qualify. Jean Ireland and Sally Ann Howes provided the lighter side of the drama counterbalanced by the religious fanaticism of Mervyn Johns as the strict patriarch. All in all I found the film very absorbing and at times even riveting.
