We Shall See is a 1964 British drama film directed by Quentin Lawrence and starring Maurice Kaufmann, Faith Brook and Alec Mango.[1][2] It was adapted by Donal Giltinan from the 1926 novel We Shall See! by Edgar Wallace, and was made at Merton Park Studios as part of the long-running series of Edgar Wallace Mysteries.[3][4]
Alva, the mentally unbalanced wife of airline pilot Evan Collins, wants her husband to leave his job. However, she is tragically killed when someone throws a hive of bees into her bedroom. Police deduce that whoever was responsible knew that Alva was allergic to the insects. Each member of the household, both relatives and staff, comes under suspicion, as her psychotic behaviour has both alienated and given everyone a personal interest in her demise.
