    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — These Are the Damned

    Really enjoyed this film following recent screening on BBC2. Did anyone feel, like me, that there was something in King's past which connected him ( and therefore Joan also) with the boathouse, and possibly with the military establishment? There was a distinctive divide between King and the rest of the Teddy Boys. There was also some considerable chemistry between King and Freya in the boathouse scene, and a seemingly psychological connection between the two.
    Any ideas?

      "psychological" ? Try "incestuous".
      Not sure what was more disturbing, that, the ageing yank forcing himself onto her or the implication that a member of the British armed forces would allow a thug to speak to him in such a manner.

        Both King and Joan said things which slightly indicated they had entered the boathouse before.

          I thought King might be gay. This is probably not correct as I will will read a gay subtext in anything.

            Well, he had what our American friends call 'issues' and lots of them but I don't see that as one of them on any obvious level

              I thought that was a great shot of King in that cemetery. An interesting character. I wonder where he got that bowler from? It is strange that in the long-haired irreverent 1960s, that the John Steed character from 'The Avengers' now look so cool in the repeat of the series. He is conservatively dressed with a bowler on his head and carrying a brolly. So I think King is cool too. Wearing his bowler while leading a gang of teddy boy bikers.
