Here's another presentation from our ongoing "Iconic Seventies Cinema" season, "The Shout", a "chiller" directed by Jerzy Skolimowski and brilliantly starring Alan Bates, Susannah York, John Hurt and Robert Stephens. This movie has been previously removed from YouTube, so, as it's never itv gold's intention to offend, we would like to "WARN VIEWERS FROM THE START, THAT THIS FILM CONTAINS CONTEXTUAL AND THEREFORE, IN OUR VIEW, INOFFENSIVE NUDITY". Here's a brief synopsis of the plot, "A traveller by the name of Crossley, forces himself upon a musician and his wife in a lonely part of Devon, and uses the Aboriginal magic he has learned to displace his host." The film's tagline says: "a film of intense perversity - the madness of the mind." So, make up your own mind, but we're screening it following "Sister George" as another major work from the lovely late actor, Susannah York.
A brilliant film which repays every watching.
Even to the end...is Crossley merely delusional? It is he who is doing the telling,after all,and he admits to being an unreliable narrator right from the start...

Thanks so much! I had forgotten John Hurt was in it. What an intimidating dude Alan Bates was...scary!
