Weekend of Shadows is a 1978 film directed by Tom Jeffrey and starring John Waters.
Suspicion falls on a Polish labourer and a posse is formed to catch him.
Writer Peter Yeldham later called the film a "real disaster... we had constant changes and insecurity about it, right up to the day of shooting.
Director Tom Jeffrey: I screened the film to Hugh Atkinson, the writer of the novel, after we had finished it and he came up to me afterwards and I remember him saying quite clearly, "You've got it."
And I said, "Yes, well, I didn't really realise that, but if you can see that in the ending and if that's what your original intention was and I've unwittingly achieved that for you, I'm very pleased."..
