Looks like a romance from the poster but it isn't. I saw this as a youngster when I was off school sick and remembered it being quite intriguing but not much more, so when I saw it was on Talking Pictures channel I thought I'd give it another go 40 years later.
The premise is that a young woman and her brother go to the 1889 World Fair in Paris. They check into a hotel but next morning there's no sign of the brother, what she thought was his room is actually a bathroom, and no-one in the hotel has any recollection or record of him.
It's all pretty well-done, and with good acting. The French people all speak in French with no subtitles, which is pretty daring, but it's only schoolboy level so you can still get the gist of it. Worth a watch when it comes round again.
What are you, some kinda Pervert??!

Never heard of that one. I'd expect it to be a bit 'low budget' with Reece Dinsdale in, he never made the big time, despite being a decent actor.Quote:

phenomenally powerful statement in the day that still holds the attention. worth catching
Started watching series 9 of 'Still Game' last week, thought it lacked something?
I've only got first 5. Thought the 6th wasn't good so stopped there.
Finally got a copy of this classic little gem and on bluray.
The Missionary. 1982.
2K restoration from the original negatives, supervised and approved by cinematographer Peter Hannan and director Richard Loncraine, finally enabling the film to be seen in its original 2.35:1 theatrical aspect ratio for the first time ever on any home video format.

It was shown on the BBC a few years ago. Looks dated, but nonetheless shocking.
