Prejudices are common human faults and it is the flaws in characters that many authors down the ages have exploited to make their stories. It's pretty much the whole point of literature and, therefore, of arts from theatre through opera, film and comedy to the modern soap opera. Unfortunately some people think that portraying bad behaviour is the same thing as condoning or even promoting it. These people are idiots. And in power

I imagine most of the 70’s Hammer movies and monster movies that involved ladies like Valerie Leon and Caroline Munro wearing skimpy outfits would be deemed too sexist. 70s tv series that were made into films like Steptoe and On The Buses would be hit for the same reason, as well as using expressions like poof and queer. A strange morality we have these days where you can have films like 'Hostel' where people get blowtorched in the face for fun and 24-hour free hardcore p***. but we can't have 'sexism' in films.

It generally made a merely good film excellent. Can't beat seeing a bloke putting a bird firmly in her place.

Where are the alpha men on screen nowadays? Even James Bond joked about taking it up the ar$e. Get rid of all these excuses in trousers.....start making movies like we had in the seventies.

I think I saw it about a year ago on TV and they out the original dog name back in. Incidentally, that dog was our family dog. It was one of my dad's films and they used our dog. Before I was born though. The dogs real name was Blackie. I think my older brother still has photos from the set and maybe a couple of original scripts with written notes. That is an absolutely cracking story and something to be proud of.

Congratulations on missing the point one more time. Sexism is part of life since both sexes have interests that serve themselves only. I would prefer to see a realistic portrayal of life, not one forced upon us by the loony brigade. Back to my point. Priority alert.

Thanks cucking. Funny thing is, my dad also worked on a lot of the films mentioned on this thread. Hammer house of horror movies, on the buses etc. Things were very different then. He worked on a film called the Devil rides out. I remember watching it and was blown away by the sex scenes as a kud.. A lot of our family pets got into these films. Kittens in Tommy the Toreador and I had a pet rabbit from the hammer house series. Dad saved it from the set of an episode. And I mean saved, as in those days, if there was a scene with a dead rabbit, they actually killed the rabbit for the scene. Geno (I liked the early Dexys) was the only rabbit to survive. Different times then, both better than now and worse than now at the same time. Were supposed to live in an enlightened age but curiously, as this thread points out, there are films that just wouldn't get made now. In some ways, that's not bad but imho, we shouldn't ignore that back then, some people had different attitudes and hey, it was what it was. We used to sit down as a family and watch Love Thy Neighbor. It was the top show at the time but also, "see you at tea time" was something you would hear in my school all the time. Nowadays you would take to twitter in disgust, then, someone was getting a "smack in the mouth". If the person on the receiving end was hard enough. Ah, the good old, bad old days...
