Fifty years have passed since Britt Ekland, above, bared all in the classic folk-horror film The Wicker Man. Or so audiences in December 1973 were led to believe. ‘But I’ve got an **** like a ski slope,’ she protested, when told her backside would be exposed to the camera, so director Robin Hardy obligingly hired a comely ‘bottom double’.Despite that directorial sleight of hand, or rather haunch, The Wicker Man was a thrillingly daring film. It is a little dated now but still compellingly creepy and, in parts, properly scary.
