Just a note of clarification; Kemp played the Inn Keeper, and dressed
up as Punch. My first exposure to this film was being asked to bring my
VCR (rare in those days) to a friends house so that a group of Wiccians
could watch it at this party. Strange perspective on it.
I was a little miffed at the film's interpetation of Punch as my dad
was a Punch & Judy puppeteer, and collected "Punchinalia". To describe
Punch as a "classic fool" doesn't do him justice.
