Joe Orton’s frantically paced, door-slamming black comedy - one of the most original and uproarious plays ever to grace the British stage - is adapted for the screen.

A genuinely bizarre and extremely funny farce concerns a pair of misguided youths (and sometimes lovers), who, having knocked over a bank, hide their loot in the coffin of one of the young men’s recently deceased mother..

All hell breaks loose as the distraught duo tries to retrieve their booty before the police catch on and the coffin is buried.

Starring Roy Holder, Hywell Bennett, Lee Remick, Richard Attenborough and Milo O’Shea.
