All right here goes... shouldn't be too hard
- this film was considered so offensive that it effectively destroyed the career of its director
- the screenplay was written by a former WWII codebreaker turned West End playwright
- originaly reviled and ignored in it's home of England, this film was "saved" by Martin Scorsese (who's longtime editor is the director's widow) 20 years after its initial release
