The Singer Not the Song (1961)
Director: Roy Baker
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A bit of a jaw-dropper this one: Bogarde is a Mexican gunslinger - but, of course! - a man in black who seems to have an obsessive love-hate thing with the local Irish priest (Mills). Beneath the surface you have the vague feeling that there's something deeply perverted and fetishistic going on, so relentless is the tone and handling (script by Nigel Balchin) - but then you think better of it. See it and disbelieve.Author: TJ
