Fragment of Fear is a 1970 British thriller film directed by Richard C. Sarafian and starring David Hemmings, Gayle Hunnicutt, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Roland Culver, Flora Robson and Arthur Lowe.

Tim Brett is visiting his rich but estranged aunt in an Italian coastal hotel catering mainly for old ladies.

Tim is later assaulted on the streets at night by two men who leave him lying on the ground with a hypodermic needle.

[citation needed] The film's sets were designed by the art director Ray Simm.

The jazz score composed by Johnny Harris was later used by Levi's to soundtrack their European Kung Fu TV advertising campaign in the late 1990s.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "For much of its length, Fragment of Fear works quite well as a standard whodunnit.... David Hemmings, though indecisively Methody, still gives one of his most detailed performances so far; and the mood is contrived and controlled well enough to keep one engrossed. ...

And then the detective story becomes an espionage thriller, the temperature drops, interest dies, and just after an attempt to revive it with the extraordinary wedding sequence the film quite suddenly ends: a train goes into a tunnel and never comes out again ... when a final shot startles one into blank bewilderment, one's initial reaction is that one has been hoodwinked, that the whole film is a shameful cheat.
