Lord Summerisle, memorably played by Christopher Lee, is the islanders’ cult leader, the grandson of a Victorian scientist who developed a special strain of apple that could thrive in the island’s harsh climate. His ancestor, like the British Romantic poets of the 19th century also reintroduced the old gods to the island folk, bringing pantheistic light and lust into their dour lives. Both projects have thrived, until now. In a last-ditch attempt to appease the Sun God, Howie, a virginal innocent imbued with Kingly virtues (by means of his station in life as a police officer), is to be burnt in the ancient pagan edifice, in the unholy light of day, Summerisle, their “chieftain,” slyly opting out of that particular practice for himself. Christopher Lee described him as a “benevolent dictator.” In a sense, Howie has numerous opportunities to succumb to the flesh and escape his fate, but he is too sanctimonious, too proud and blinkered, and too pure. Howie do you like them apples? The whole bizarre episode is seen through his eyes, a mix of comic cuts and daffy disturbance. Aleister Crowley meets Benny Hill. Hardy told S&S, “It’s where Tony and I met. We enjoyed that sort of humor, that sort of bathos.”

Sergeant Neil Howie journeys by seaplane to the remote Hebridean island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl, Rowan Morrison, about whom he has received an anonymous letter. Howie, a devout Christian, is disturbed to find the Islanders paying homage to the pagan Celtic gods of their ancestors. They copulate openly in the fields, include children as part of the May Day celebrations, teach children of the phallic association of the maypole, and place toads in their mouths to cure sore throats. The islanders appear to be trying to thwart his investigation by claiming that Rowan never existed. A flawless poster that will be in the exact same condition as the day it was printed with no marks or fading. The May Day series seeks to explore the pagan heritage of the British Isles and Ireland through the medium of visual images and writing. The series includes material drawn from historical sources, personal interpretations, and fusions of the past and present eras of myth, folklore, and religion. The series shows the influence of European and near eastern religions & cultures on the pagan traditions of Britain. The series forms a loose narrative, a connection between the past and present, using literal, metaphorical, and spiritual symbolism.
Superficially a mystery thriller, this intelligent and well researched story delves into the beliefs and rituals of Ancient Britain, its folk mythologies and music, and reveals some of the un-settling fears that lie at their root. Set on a remote Scottish Island and giving the appearance of being a Whisky Galore, Local Hero type community, there is yet something off-centre about the townspeople that Edward Woodward, as Sergeant Howie, has come to investigate. The presence of Christopher Lee as the eloquent, commanding Lord of the Isle, gives the film an insidiously creepy edge suggesting a Hammer Horror lurks around the next wee wall. He is perfect in the role. Independents in the 1970s, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, 34:1, 85-102, p87 DOI: Strauss, Matthew (3 May 2016).
