Hmmm, sorry shnowballs but I can't help you with your query.
I hope you don't mind me asking a question about another movie in your thread, but as I don't see another thread quite like this I thought those who are looking might be able to help me out with a question I have of my own...
With your permission shnowballs...
There was a movie broadcast on the BBC in the late 70s.
It seemed to be set in a sunny place in some southern ocean or other...
The period seemed to be in the 19th century as a sailing ship was involved...
Lepers were being transported to an island reserved for their exile.
They were being transported in a cage on the deck of the ship.
When the ship arrived near the island the door of the cage was opened and its occupants emptied out into the sea. (Presumably to prevent the crew coming into contact with them).
The new arrivals must then swim to the shore of the island.
As the new arrivals reached the beach, most of them were robbed unceremoniously by the residents.
One woman walking out of the sea was accosted by two islanders who stripped her quite literally in about two seconds. They grasped her gown at the neck and tore it down to her ankles in an instant, leaving her full-frontally nude. Her expression did not change during this attack.
Two others of the new arrivals, being a man and a woman obviously attached, and still in the sea, looked at each other aghast at this.
They emerged from the sea each holding a large rock with which to defend themselves, and three or four of the resident islanders, although ready to rob them also, did not attack but let them onto the island unharmed.
Later in the film the island was visited by officials of some description, who found the two who had been prepared to fight. The man had been the leper and the woman his companion, and they were still living there.
This is all I remember. I was about 15 at the time of this broadcast (in about 1978 or 1979) and I remember the attack very well, but unfortunately none of the actors or the title of the film.
I do hope anyone on OCC can help me with this, I would be eternally grateful.
Kind regards, goldplanet2001.
