What I found very interesting and unexpected was just how much the underlying meaning was changed from the original in the film |

Wasn't there a gap between when the Seduction of Ingmar Bergman was first released as a box set and the standalone CD release?
The boxset contained a cd as well |

It was Chris Townson who punched Russell in the mouth, and I think it was Adrian Fisher who actually saw him go into a cupboard and couldn't get out.
