Fascinating mixture of science fiction and social comment from Hammer Films circa 1961. This bleak but moving atomic parable still packs a punch and was finally released uncut on DVD over 40 years after its truncated theatrical release. Oliver Reed's role was reputedly one of the inspirations for Anthony Burgess to write A Clockwork Orange.
One of the best and most entertaining horror films of the 80's. Amanda Donohoe is hilariously unforgettable...
These days horror movies seem to have lost the ability to also be profoundly sexy, Ken show us how it's done..
I am pleased that trallers from hell have finally uploaded the traller for one of the greatest film musicals ever made. I saw this again recently and it still hits the bullseye
A film so completely over the top it could only have come from the late and sorely missed Ken Russell. Great stuff all round.
This film, along with "The Great Dictator" and the (pretty terrible) "Once Upon a Honeymoon", shows that the plight of oppressed Europeans was a comic goldmine for Hollywood! A really wonderful comedy with a fine atmosphere of moral and physical decay, this is one of the most adult films of the 1940s, with a very interesting subtext regarding Jews and Poles "passing" for Germans, a very common means of survival during those awful times..
Without question one of the "Seminal"sexties Hollywood films. I first saw this film in my early teens and it still has the abilty to surprise and impress you even today
