The Flesh And The Fiends. 1960.
Peter Cushing plays the Scottish (using his own English accent) medical tutor Doctor Knox and introduced to William Burke and William Hare played by Donald Pleasance and George Rose who supply Knox with dead bodies in exchange for money. When the dead bodies are slowly becoming a no show, both men decide to murder people.
I have seen the The Bodysnatcher and The Doctor And The Devils both were really good adaptations of the Burke and Hare story but this version has seemed to slip through the cracks. The acting in this is brilliant, Billie Whitlaw is the bubbly lady who manages to do a decent accent, Cushing's performance is one of his bests outside the Dracula hammer films, even in Black And White you can fell the dark atmosphere that was brilliantly created.
