Sinister Street

Sinister Street is a 1969 British television miniseries adapted from Compton Mackenzie’s 1913–14 novel of the same name. Dramatised by Ray Lawler, the six-part serial stars Brett Usher, Gillian Hawser, Kate Lansbury, and Jo Kendall. It stands as the sole televised adaptation, with all episodes subsequently wiped and believed lost. This psychological coming-of-age drama follows two children, Michael Fane and his sister Stella, born out of wedlock—considered taboo at the time—yet raised by wealthy parents.
