With the Rank Organisation insisting that John Mills play the priest, Dirk Bogarde became so incensed that told director Roy Ward Baker "I promise you, if Johnny plays the priest I will make life unbearable for everyone concerned". The film failed at the box office but since has developed a cult following due to its camp homosexual context and over the top performance by the black clad leather pants wearing Bogarde.[1]
