    Not surprised that this isn't shown on RTÉ every Christmas- even the title is off putting.
    You'd wonder how the film ever got financial backing with a name like that.

    Quite a lot of films from that era were fécking weird.
    I watched Black Narcissus(1947) a few years ago and it was psychologically unnerving-won't be buying the dvd any time soon.

    Don't forget Tintorera and Guyana: Crime of the Century - the guy really knew how to knock 'em out!
