N.p. John Boorman Productions, 1974. Vintage color reference photograph of Sean Connery and Sara Kestlman from the 1974 film.

After the critical and commercial success of 1972's "Deliverance," director John Boorman was given almost total creative freedom for his next film. He responded by costuming Sean Connery in red briefs and suspenders, thigh-high boots, a handlebar mustache, and a long braid, and setting him loose in a utopian city of nearly catatonically bored immortals as a ruthless killer doing the violent bidding of a giant, floating, talking stone head. In his spare time, he woos and has a child with Charlotte Rampling. Somewhat obviously, the film has since become a cult classic.

Shot on location in Ireland.
