A real pleasure to see this again. It made me probably just as angry as I was on the 8th April 1979 to see the behaviour of the prefects, who are to all intents running the school. (In the final massacre, the Establishment fights back.)
Despite watching a 4x3 print which doesn't seem cropped (the format is 1.66:1) Miroslav Ondricek gives things a brick-coloured hue, and he's assisted by Chris Menges and Michael Seresin! Brideshead director Charles Sturridge is one of the odious oiks.
