Brando's attempt at an Irish accent if laughable, but I only paid Ł4 for the BluRay and Stephanie Beacham parades around naked in it, so it had its plus points.

The Hammer films are a mixed bag but all sorts of interesting people turn up in them either at the beginning or the end of their careers and they're generally good fun. Never Take Sweets From A Stranger is a bit different in that deals with subject matter that was very rarely touched upon when it was filmed. I thought it was excellent considering it was shot in 1959.
Another old cracker in my opinion was "The Haunting", early 60s. No need for any gory violence in these type of films to give you the shivers.
