The Webster Boy is a 1962 Irish film directed by Don Chaffey and written by Ted Allan and Leo Marks.[1] [2] [3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unconvincing and altogether weird, this attempt at a British Frenzy has nothing to recommend it. The dialogue is unspeakable, for one thing, and since the worst of it goes to Geoffrey Bayldon as the psychotic schoolmaster, one can't even judge whether this unusual actor is unusually bad or unusually original, or whether he simply can't help turning nasty whenever he finds himself involved in films like The Webster Boy."[4]
Leslie Halliwell said: "Curious, totally unbelievable melodrama."[5]
