I’m trying to find the name of a film a friend of mine saw years ago:
It’s a black-and-white. I think it’s British, around the 60s. There’s a painting in a museum - a painting of a house at night. One of the windows is lit. There’s a group of people living inside the house: they’ve been able to enter the painting, or are somehow alive inside it. They go on and on about collecting butterflies.
I think a criminal/murderer hides in the painting/house, and the “ghosts” who live there pass judgement.
More than likely a film from the 1940’s-1960’s as its in black and white, At least one star or character name would be able to help. Sounds a little Hichcock esque but I know its not. The only one I can recall with butterflies breifly is Terrence Stamp in the title role, as the collector.
That’s all the info I have. Heck - maybe he was watching it on a BW television set! Just seeing if anyone can come up with some suggestions as to what that movie was called.
