Night Creatures a.k.a. Captain Clegg- this little known Hammer period piece outing about alcohol smugglers vs. the law needs a larger audience- the plot is interesting
and sometimes you don't know who is suppose to be the good guy or who the bad guys are - after all, the soldiers are trying to enforce the law of the land- but life's
complexity intervenes, the issue is not so black and white.
The characterizations here are memorable. Peter Cushing effectively plays a pirate who transformed himself into a humanitarian town pastor; we see scenes where he effortlessly switches his personalty from mild mannered to cut throat seriousness as the occasion requires. Oliver Reed does a good job in his supporting role, and no one can forget the curvaceous (38-22-36 ) Yvonne Romain. You also feel some slight sorrow for the travails of Captain Collier in his dogged pursuit of the smugglers. There is a quasi horror element that is very effective- one would be wise to not go out onto the Romney Marsh! 7 stars.
