A Thief in the Night (1972)
IMDb plot summary: The story of Patty, a young woman caught up in living for the present with little concern for the future. She meets and marries a young man and her life seems great, until one moment she awakens to find her husband gone and the radio reporting millions of people have mysteriously disappeared. As dramatic, earth shaking events begin to unfold around her, Patty realizes she is living in the end times spoken of in biblical prophecy.
Directed by Donald W. Thompson. Starring Patty Dunning, Mike Niday, Colleen Niday, and Maryann Rachford.
Not a lot to say about this one. It's pretty clumsy. I watched it with some of my favorite podcasters riffing it, and I think it would have been far too dull otherwise. It does kick into gear a bit with the dystopian ending, but even that is done pretty awkwardly.
1.5 stars.
