Subject: RE: BS: Weirdest Movie
"The Wild Heart" (shown in England as - "Gone to Earth") campy and delirious rather than weird. Jennifer Jones plays a Shropshire lass, a Gypsy type , with a pet fox called (imaginatively)Foxy. She says things like
"It be black and 'airy and I be afeared on it"
She starts out in a hovel with her drunken harpist father, and an assortment of other wild beasts. She falls in love with a hunting, wenching, drinking, lusty squire - (David Farrar)leaving her good and boring vicar husband - "Edderd". There can be no good come of it but you'll have to watch it through to the bad end.
I'll be doing Shropshire very badly all day now.
