Plot
Kit (Day) and Anthony Preston (Harrison) never had a real honeymoon and the midnight lace pajamas are for when they can finally get out of London. Anthony's business is very pressing these days. Kit is frightened one day in a London fog by a very peculiar voice from behind a statue. Next the threatening telephone calls start.
Kit becomes steadily more terrified. She enlists the aid of her husband,the police and even her favorite aunt, but increasingly each of them begins to wonder if Kit, feeling neglected, has an overactive imagination or is deliberately making up the entire story. Suspects include a new man on the block, an architect (Gavin) of a building going up next to the Prestons' apartment, and an unpleasant man (McDowall) in need of money.
The culprit, however, turns out to be her own husband, whose business reversals motivate him to try to drive his wife insane and seize control of her personal wealth.
