Review:
Davey Haggart (John Hurt) wishes to follow his father's footsteps and become a highway robber. He also wishes to avoid his father's fate -- which was death by hanging at the tender age of 21 after a botched robbery of the Duke of Argyle (Robert Morley). Davey commits a daring robbery in broad daylight with the help of two henchmen (Ronald Fraser and Fidelma Murphy) and heads for the highlands of Scotland to hide out. The local Constable (Nigel Davenport) warns young Davey he will end up just like his father but helps him escape the fate of dancing on the end of a rope. Annie (Pamela Franklin) is the kind-hearted farm girl who tries to make sweet Davey give up a life of crime and settle down.
This comedy was taken from the autobiographical diary"The Life Of David Haggart."
Inhalt:
Schottland zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts: Der im Waisenhaus aufgewachsene Davey Haggart (John Hurt) desertiert aus der Armee. Er will in die Fussstapfen seines Vaters treten, der der gefürchtetste Schurke Schottlands war. Nur möchte Davey nicht wie sein Vater am Galgen enden. Dazu ist er den Mädchen zu sehr zugetan.
Sinópsis:
La acción transcurre en Escocia en el siglo XIX. David Haggart es un joven que deserta del ejército por lo que se le pone precio a su cabeza. Desde entonces su vida es una constante huida de la ley en la que pasa por todo tipo de correrías. Al final, consiguen él y su compañero de peripecias ingresar en la alta sociedad y en uno de sus bailes roban todas las joyas.
Esther Ofarim sings the very beautiful title song "Sinful Davey",
from which the original score by Ken Thorne is gone,
so this is a very rare piece of her! info + lyrics
