This remake of a minor 40s British classic is probably among the three worst films I've ever seen at a cinema. Faye Dunaway must have been really desperate for money to do this.

I expected it to be awful... yet kinda enjoyed it.

Notable for Winner talking Marina Sirtis into baring all (she went topless in Death Wish 3 as well). It's pretty awful as a film, though sometimes campily enjoyable (and I have to admit a soft spot for Winner's flicks) and Alan Bates brings some light relief.

Faye Dunaway in another camp classic?! Yes please!

Did you know Winner, along with Jess Franco, was a charter member of ZOOM LENS USERS ANONYMOUS?

I loved the review.

'Group activity is preserved to satisfaction'

Sounds fantastic.

I seem to be in a minority here, as I found this to be much better than average. The setting reminded me of The Draughtsman's Contract and I was pulled in right away, though the story was dissimilar (but just as amusing). To me, this was a comedy, and one that fits my sense of humor.

I think, like most people today, I was drawn to this movie because of the mention of Marina Sirtis. I grew up watching Star Trek: TNG, so anything with her is going to get my attention. Her role was minor in this film, but I actually couldn't hold back the laughs when she had her moment. It was crazy to see her acting in this manner.

I only have one criticism about the blu-ray disc and that is the absence of any interviews or documentaries.
