May 22nd
Incense for the Damned
GB 1970. Titan/Lucinda Films. 87m.

An impotent young Oxford don becomes infected with the exotic pleasures of vampirism on a Greek island.
Risible sex horror thriller, badly edited in very rushed style (the director disowned the end result), and much bowdlerized from relatively mature source material. The Oxford scenes are interesting though.

Written by: Julian More, from the novel "Doctors Wear Scarlet" by Simon Raven.
Producer: Graham Harris.
Director: Michael Burrowes (Robert Hartford-Davis).
Starring: Patrick Mower, Patrick Macnee, Alex Davion, Peter Cushing, Johnny Sekka, Madeleine Hinde, Imogen Hassall, Edward Woodward, William Mervyn, David Lodge.
