With all the renewed interest in 1953's Stolen Face thanks to the re-release on Hammer's own 4K disc set, recorded a few years ago, here's a chance to revisit Ben's musings on the subject and its wider cinematic outings from the sublime to the not so much...

I love this film. All those Hammer fans over the years who have tirelessly complained about it really missed the point. How exciting would it be to discover there was a Shaw Brothers film with Peter Cushing in?! Oh wait, there’s two of them!

Poster for Hammer's 1967 "epic", "The Viking Queen". A woman - presumably the eponymous Viking Queen - rides a chariot, sword in hand. The wheels, of course, have those spiky rotating things attached. It's all very Boadicea if not very Viking-y.

1967, and Hammer tried going full historical epic in "The Viking Queen". It's a little bit Roman, a little bit Welsh and (oddly) a little bit Greek as well. The one thing it isn't is Viking! But is it a Boudicca or a Bouddican't? @househammerpod.bsky.social investigate further.

He’s seen here with Susan, Peter Cushing, Thorley Walters & the producer Anthony Nelson-Keys

Even Smokey, who hates comedy LOVES The Ugly Duckling and you’ll get no argument from us when it comes to Bernard Bresslaw. Cev did a whole piece on his life for our β€œI Only Arsked” episode and it sounds nothing less than awesome ❀️
