Has anyone seen CORRUPTION? It’s a 1968 piece of Brit exploitation, with Peter Cushing (he HATED the film) as a surgeon who has to kill young women for their glands (or something). To see Peter Cushing on a train letching over some bird opposite him in a mini skirt, then killing her (and getting his tongue down her throat and everything), later killing another young girl, stripping her and rubbing his blood-drenched hands all over her tits… then he cuts her head off. How he could go home to his beloved wife Helen and chat cheerfully about the day’s filming I’ll never know.

Bill McGuffie did the score. It’s like somebody has suddenly put on a “Live at Ronnie Scottt’s” jazz record. And all this for scenes of Cushing chasing dolly birds along the beach so that he can mutilate them. Perhaps if there had been a backstory of Cushing as a frustrated jazz musician….
