We are screening this brooding anti-nuclear parable in its original uncut form; at the time of release, Losey had to contend with both censor and studio edits. American tourist Macdonald Carey is roughed up by motorbike gang leader Oliver Reed, yet tries to liberate the latter’s sister Shirley Anne Field; they all stumble onto a secret facility run by Alexander Knox and Walter Gotell, where unusual children await (including future Excalibur star Nicholas Clay).
