You will be shocked to discover the truth behind the production of The Wicker Man. In this Golden Flicker video, we reveal the secrets and the deliberate erasure that destroyed Robin Hardy's original masterpiece.

Christopher Lee called it the best work of his life, but the 1973 folk horror classic we know today is merely a ghost of its director's true vision. From bankruptcies to missing negatives supposedly buried under
a motorway, we explore how 368 cans of raw footage vanished into thin
air, the tragedy of Robin Hardy's lost legacy, and why the original cut
of The Wicker Man remains the absolute holy grail of British cinema
history.

And, most importantly, stunt butt.
