Armitage Productions came up with another version of the story of Edinburgh's infamous duo. They also seem to have wanted to make a sex comedy set in a brothel and the two barely connect in this confusing film which seems to have been rather roughly edited. Derren Nesbitt and Glyn Edwards play the murderous scoundrels; Harry Andrews the doctor who literally turns a blind eye to them.
Francoise Pascal ( as Marie )
Sex : Marie is a prostitute
Death : Suffocated by Burke and Hare ( offscreen )
Francoise was born in Mauritius and spent time in both Paris and London growing up. She became the girlfriend of actor Richard Johnson and from the mid-seventies was mainly seen on TV. I remember her as the sexy French student in Mind Your Language. She had a brief sojourn in Hollywood in the mid-eighties but soon returned to London. She was out of the public eye for a long time but has made one or two films this decade.
Yutte Stensgard ( as Janet )
Sex : Janet is a prostitute
Death : Presumably suffocated by Burke and Hare ( offscreen )
Yutte gets to strut her stuff a lot in this one.
Dee Shendery ( as Mrs Burke )
Sex : Nice cleavage
Death : Survives
This is one of only three screen appearances by Dee who was born in Oxfordshire, She is now 75.
Caroline Yates ( as Annie )
Sex : Annie is a prostitute who strips for a medical examination, a scene which has scant to do with the plot
Death : Survives
This was Caroline's only film appearance.
Christine Pilgrim ( as Rosie )
Sex : Rosie is a prostitute
Death : Survives
Christine disappeared for a long time after this before reappearing in The Benny Hill Show in the late eighties. In 1992 she emigrated to Canada where she's appeared in one woman shows.
Lindsay Marsh ( as Liz )
Sex : Liz is a prostitute caught out by the fire
Death : Survives
Lindsay had a few more busty parts in the early seventies before disappearing from view.
Susan Coates ( as Polly )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
This was Susan's only film role.
