Have a watch if you have never seen it before.
Cheers haven't seen this for a few years. It's a great classic film. Not like the remake I saw on DVD last week.
I thought the recent remake was disappointing; the story didn't translate very well to the 60s and alot of the acting was very wooden. The original film is however a masterpiece; dark, edgy and very atmospheric.

Gay history:
Many men were initially drawn to Brighton by the enormous numbers of soldiers garrisoned here during the Napoleonic Wars. In August 1822, George Wilson, a servant from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was accused by a guardsman he had met in the Duke of Wellington public house in Pool Valley of having offered him a sovereign and two shillings to go with him onto the beach to commit an unnatural crime.
Any idea where the Garrison was?
Too late now PNut.
all the soldiers have gone. :safeway:
