The Hellfire Club is a 1960 film which tells a story based upon 'The Hellfire Club'. Sir Francis Dashwood's infamous 'Gentlemans' society of the 1700's. It starred Peter Cushing.
The notorious gentlemen’s club of the title was, at least according to the film, famed for its depravity, debauchery, and devil worship. Despite not being a Hammer production, there are visual similarities and the script was co-written by Jimmy Sangster, and co-stars Hammer regulars Peter Cushing and Miles Malleson.
