This was a fairly grand estate.
Granted, this was 1971, a totally different time than today.
I'm also an American, so I could be all wrong in my understanding of how things were/are done in the UK.
My question???
How could just anyone walk up to the door and do that to a family?
If you want to know what happened, watch the movie.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Maybe they cut the wires on the gate the way the Manson loons did at 1050 Ciello Drive.

Thank you!
I wasn't sure of what was going on.
People were pretty much allowed to enter anyone's gated property and knock on their door…
After that???
What happened in this film can happen to anyone. Got it.

I've not seen the film and I don't think I want to, but assuming the question is can people just walk up to the front door of a big estate, then the answer is yes, or at least some of them. They are big places with only a fraction of the staff once needed to run them and the grounds are often quite accessible. If fact there are often public rights of way cutting across these estates so the owners couldn't stop people walking through even if they wanted to.

…
But they didn't think to close it
Until it was far too late.
So on that fateful date.
A nutter filled with hate.
Wandered in amongst these twits.
And brutally sealed their fate.

Never seen it
Since you were interested enough to comment, perhaps you should watch it.
If not, move along…
Show's over…

You shoulda been helping me instead of Crowing!
That was Baaaad,
Serious here… have you ever seen this movie?
If so, any thoughts?
Let's not be snarky… this isn't politics or the usual trading of insults.
This is movie talk on Filmboards.

They had a gate…
This was a fairly grand estate.
You shoulda kept the rhymes going 😕
