Summerisle is a simple pagan—if you can call that simple. He is both king and priest in one. But very dangerous. He’s a man, too, of impeccable charm and manners and good taste, an authority, articulate, in many ways a very delightful person. And you can find a bit of that in everyone… You can say that Summerisle is an amalgam of many roles I have played on-screen. Figures of power, of mystery, of authority, of presence. There is quite a lot of my natural delivery in the way Summerisle’s dialogue was written… I have been called upon to play acceptably straight characters—agreeable, courteous, amusing—add to that the suggestion that the character is not quite what he seems, and I have played them many times. Also in the changes of mood. The fact that Summerisle is dangerous when crossed perfectly applies to me: Christopher Lee does not forget a wrong done to him, so I’m dangerous when crossed, too. That’s not a very Christian attitude, perhaps, but it’s a very human one.”Greetings Cards suitable for Birthdays, Weddings, Anniversaries, Graduations, Thank You and much more

This poster will be in excellent conditions and if it has a blemish or mark it will be barely noticeable. StudioCanal is releasing brand-new 4K restoration of the film, with two very special screenings this Spring, and culminating with a Collector’s Edition release in September. Lord Summerisle, memorably played by Christopher Lee, is the islanders’ cult leader, the grandson of a Victorian scientist who developed a special strain of apple that could thrive in the island’s harsh climate. His ancestor, like the British Romantic poets of the 19th century also reintroduced the old gods to the island folk, bringing pantheistic light and lust into their dour lives. Both projects have thrived, until now. In a last-ditch attempt to appease the Sun God, Howie, a virginal innocent imbued with Kingly virtues (by means of his station in life as a police officer), is to be burnt in the ancient pagan edifice, in the unholy light of day, Summerisle, their “chieftain,” slyly opting out of that particular practice for himself. Christopher Lee described him as a “benevolent dictator.” Directed by Robin Hardy, the film features a cast that includes Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, and Diane Cilento. Despite a difficult production and heavily cut original theatrical release, the film has achieved true cult status in the 50 years since its original release, making it one of the most revered horror films in cinema history. World Premiere – Sunday 30th April Howie meets the island's leader, Lord Summerisle, grandson of a Victorian agronomist, to get permission for an exhumation. Summerisle explains that his grandfather developed strains of fruit trees that would prosper in Scotland's climate and encouraged the belief that the old gods would use the new strains to bring prosperity to the island among the pagan population. Due to the bountiful harvests, the island's other inhabitants gradually embraced paganism.A poster with faded colors and brittle paper, showing significant signs of use. May have tears and paper loss. May have tape, writing, stains in image area. In need of restoration or had major restoration.

A poster with good colors and overall clean appearance. It may have minor tears small paper loss and minor stains. It may have some fold seperation. Superficially a mystery thriller, this intelligent and well researched story delves into the beliefs and rituals of Ancient Britain, its folk mythologies and music, and reveals some of the un-settling fears that lie at their root. Set on a remote Scottish Island and giving the appearance of being a Whisky Galore, Local Hero type community, there is yet something off-centre about the townspeople that Edward Woodward, as Sergeant Howie, has come to investigate. The presence of Christopher Lee as the eloquent, commanding Lord of the Isle, gives the film an insidiously creepy edge suggesting a Hammer Horror lurks around the next wee wall. He is perfect in the role.Tempered Glass Mounts are ideal for wall display, plus the smaller sizes can also be used free-standing via an integral stand

In a sense, Howie has numerous opportunities to succumb to the flesh and escape his fate, but he is too sanctimonious, too proud and blinkered, and too pure. Howie do you like them apples? The whole bizarre episode is seen through his eyes, a mix of comic cuts and daffy disturbance. Aleister Crowley meets Benny Hill. Hardy told S&S, “It’s where Tony and I met. We enjoyed that sort of humor, that sort of bathos.”A poster that has never been used or displayed and may show the most minor signs of age and wear. The poster should have no holes or tears.
