Brimstone & Treacle

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who wreaks havoc on us all?

Brimstone and Treacle is a modern gothic tale about the evil that men do and the price that must be paid to make things right. The film, a remake of a 1976 teleplay that included Denholm Elliot in its original cast as Mr. Bates, the film also included an incredibly cool soundtrack of songs by artists like The Go-Go's, The Police, Squeeze and an irreverently stylish 1930's little diddy called 'Spread A Little Happiness', performed by Sting by himself.
