Serena is a 1962 British black-and-white second feature ('B')[1] crime thriller directed by Peter Maxwell, starring Patrick Holt, Emrys Jones and Honor Blackman.

When Ann suddenly shows up, the identity of the murdered woman may rest on her friend, Claire Matthews, who is missing.

A search for both the artist's mistress, Serena Vaughan, and the missing woman, intensifies, but Ann's motivations are also suspect.

The script manages one or two neat twists, and irritates only through a misguided determination to establish every character by an obtrusive trick of speech (the inspector, for instance, has to urge on his driver with "chop-chop" every time he gets in the car).

Directed at a fair lick by Peter Maxwell, it revolves around the complicated sex life of smoothie artist Emrys Jones, who wants to leave his wife for his model mistress.
