'60's British B-movie chiller featuring voodoo, the supernatural
and general dark arts. A comely young British teacher takes up a
remote posting in darkest Africa where the local juju man lays a
hex on her. She has a breakdown and is forced to return to the UK.
There, she takes up a post at a rural school where all appears well
on the surface. It turns out, however, that the place is a hotbed
of witchery and darkness and that a virgin sacrifice is planned for
the near future. The film was directed by Cyril Frankel, who'd made
Hammer's 1960 child abuse drama 'Never Take Sweets From a
Stranger', and the script was by Quatermass author Nigel Kneale.
Their depiction of sinister undercurrents in a pastoral setting
wasn't sinister enough for the BBFC, however, who only granted the
film an 'A' certificate. Hammer persuaded them to reconsider, but
this accomplished film still failed to find an audience.

The Doctor (William Hartnell), Ian (William Russell), Barbara
(Jacqueline Hill) and Susan (Carol Ann Ford) find themselves
stranded in Aztec times when the TARDIS is trapped in a tomb.
Proclaimed a goddess by the Aztec priests, Barbara attempts to
change the course of history by forbidding the human sacrifices
which are part of the Aztecs' religion. It is up to the Doctor to
find a way back into the tomb and recover the TARDIS, before the
priest Tlotoxl (John Ringham) unmasks Barbara.
A comic actor who first came to attention on the popular radio series The Goon Show, Peter Sellers remains one of the world’s most acclaimed comedy stars. Graduating from radio and TV to significant film roles, Sellers demonstrated a remarkable gift for character transformation.
The three films in this exclusive box-set are from the late 50s / early 60s period of Sellers’ career before he became an international star as Inspector Clouseau.
Heavens Above! (1963) is a British comedy of manners par excellence in which Sellers’ socialist priest is mistakenly sent to an upper-crust parish.
I’m All Right, Jack (1959) won Sellers a BAFTA for Best Actor as a naïve ex-soldier looking to get ahead in business who unwittingly ends up as a pawn in the machinations between management and the trade unions.
Only Two Can Play (1962) sees Sellers as John Lewis, a bored librarian tempted by the wife of a local councilor - risky stuff in a small Welsh Valley town.
And finally, the box-set is completed by a definitive collection of his very best work on TV: The Very Best of Peter Sellers.
