SINFUL DAVEY (director: John Huston; screenwriters: from the book “The Life Of David Haggart” by David Haggart/James R. Webb; cinematographers: Edward Scaife/Freddie Young; editor: Russell Lloyd; music: Ken Thorne; cast: John Hurt (Davey Haggart), Pamela Franklin (Annie), Nigel Davenport (Constable), Ronald Fraser (MacNab), Robert Morley (Duke of Argyll), Maxine Audley (Duchess of Argyll), Niall Mac Ginnis (Boots Simpson), Donal McCann (Sir James Graham), Fidelma Murphy (Jean Carlisle); Runtime: 95; MPAA Rating: PG; producer: William N. Graf; United Artists; 1969-UK) “It’s possible to get a few chuckles here and there.” Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz. This comedy adventure tale is a bomb, except for a young John Hurt’s energetic performance. Sinful Davey is supposedly a true story that has the Scottish lad Davey Haggart (Hurt) in 1821 turn to a life of crime after he becomes an army deserter and wishes to emulate his father’s criminal history. John Huston directs as if he fell asleep on the project and didn’t consider this an important film. It’s based on the autobiography “The Life Of David Haggart,” which is a telling of Davey’s roguish escapades; James R. Webb writes the screenplay. It’s a pale imitation of Tom Jones, but it’s lively in spots and it’s possible to get a few chuckles here and there, but for the most part it’s a bore. Davey’s father was hanging from a rope until dead at the ripe old age of 21 after a botched highway robbery of the Duke of Argyle (Robert Morley). But this does not deter Davey from following in his footsteps. Davey is an incompetent highwayman who commits a daring robbery in broad daylight with the help of two henchmen (Ronald Fraser and Fidelma Murphy) and flees to hide out in the Scottish Highlands. The local Constable (Nigel Davenport) warns young Davey he will end up just like his father but nevertheless helps the lad escape. Annie (Pamela Franklin) is the kind-hearted farm girl who becomes his love interest and tries to help Davey give up a life of crime and settle down. While on the lam, Davey is captured when hit by a golf ball. Huston shot it in Ireland, as the cast sports Irish instead of Scottish brogues. The photography looks pretty and the tongue-in-cheek attitude and good humor might please others more than it did me. Sinful Davey Haggart. Back in my post “ Phrens like these “, I discussed the phrenologist George Combe who had Corstorphine and South Gyle connections. “George Combe was no stranger to [controversy]. In fact, on one occasion he examined the head of one David Haggart, a nineteen year old pickpocket and murderer from Dumfries. Combe claimed Haggart had developed “secretiveness” written on his skull. Haggart was later to be executed, but would write a moving autobiographical account, explaining how the murder had not been premeditated and that he was deeply sorry for it. News of Haggart’s account reached Blackwood’s Magazine and others, who used it to attack Combe.” Sinful Davey. A friend of mine specialises in digging up obscure films, and recently, he found one from 1969 called Sinful Davey, also known as the The Sinful Adventures of Davy Haggart. Having more than one title is never a good thing for a film, and I doubt it did much good for Sinful Davey before it sank into oblivion… It took me a while to make the connection between Sinful Davey and the David Haggart I mentioned above. There is a very Barry Lyndon-esque flavour to the story-line. This film doesn’t really deliver on the “sinful adventures” that it promises, apart from a few robberies, there is less smuttiness than a Carry On film, and it looks quite tame in this day and age. The penny only really dropped when a phrenologist came in to measure the character’s head in Stirling Gaol. Unlike much of the film’s narrative, this appears to have happened. Sinful Davey boasts a well known cast, and some awful attempts at Scottish accents. The main character Davey Haggart is portrayed by a baby- faced John Hurt. His love interest is played by the under-rated Pamela Franklin (who you may remember as Sandy in the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie ). Supporting roles are played by Ronald Fraser (who does the most convincing of the Scottish accents), Robert Morley (hamming it up as he always did), Nigel Davenport, and Fionnuala Flanagan. It seems to have been entirely filmed in Ireland, and while Ireland looks reasonably like Scotland, the Irish extras seem to make little attempt to put on Scottish accents. The film was also Anjelica Huston’s first role, although I was unable to spot her. Her father John Huston directed the film. (Huston’s films recently featured on the Pointless recently, and Sinful Davey wasn’t even mentioned among the “pointless” answers!) David Haggart. According to his Wikipedia article (!), the real Davey Haggart seems to have originated in Goldenacre in Edinburgh, of all places… “Twelve days before the trial he was visited in prison by George Combe, the phrenologist, and between the trial and his execution he partly wrote, partly dictated, an autobiography, which was published by his agent, with Combe’s phrenological notes as an appendix, and Haggart’s own comments. It is a curious picture of criminal life, the best, and seemingly the most faithful, of its kind, and possesses also some linguistic value, as being mainly written in the Scottish thieves’ cant, which contains a good many genuine Romany words. Lord Cockburn, writing from recollection in 1848, declares the whole book to be “a tissue of absolute lies, not of mistakes, or of exaggerations, or of fancies, but of sheer and intended lies. And they all had one object, to make him appear a greater villain than he really was”. On the other hand, the contemporaneous account of the trial, so far as it goes, bears out Haggart’s narrative ; Cockburn is certainly wrong in describing Haggart as “about twenty-five”, and in stating that the portrait prefixed professed to be “by his own hand”. This autobiography later served as the inspiration for the 1969 movie Sinful Davey . It is available in several reprint formats, but no new edition has ever been issued. Sinful Davey. Davey Haggart is quite certain of his paternity (even if nobody else is) and determined to emulate his father, a notorious rogue and highwayman. This includes breaking a man out of Stirling jail, holding up the stagecoach, and robbing the Duke of Argyll, among other feats. Unfortunately, he is handicapped by the fact that his childhood playmate Annie is equally determined to track him down and save his soul. Director. Producers. Writers. Editor. Cinematography.

Adventure-comedy about a rambunctious laddie, Davey Haggart, who seeks to emulate the criminal lifestyle of his father, a legendary highwayman. The kind of movie you catch on TV on a Sunday afternoon, thinking "This is boring, but I'll watch anything to make my ten-year-old brain rot faster." Maybe the title song, sung by the wonderful Esther Ofarim, lured you in. Strange how something can be so dull while actually moving along at a reasonable pace. Lots of physical comedy. John Hurt and John Huston completists will make it through this. Selected commentary between my wife and I while we watched this: "It's okay there's no subtitles [on the DVD]. If these were real Scottish accents we'd be in trouble. But these are probably just a bunch of posh English actors trying to sound Scottish." "He has to have syphilis." "This is a long 95 minutes." "If nothing else I'm glad the [Toronto] library system has these obscurities available." "Oh Sinful Davey, you rascal!" "Letterboxd does not like this. Except for [someone my wife has met IRL and whose instagram review is the reason we are watching this]." "Well, now she has syphilis too." 1969 continues. Maybe ‘Sinful Davey’ deserves a higher rating, but it never hooked me. It feels like a bawdy version of something that would play on ‘The Wonderful World of Disney’. Plenty of side boob. John Hurt and Robert Morley are always fun in anything they do. I wanted more from a John Huston movie. The deeper I dive into the “obscurities” in John Huston ’s filmography the more unsatisfying his uneven career seems. Not particularly shocking if you are going to seek out critical and commercial failures in some misguided aim at completeness. While I was never a huge fan of Tony Richardson ’s new wave tinged take on Tom Jones , that box office hit is ten times the film of this like spirited semi-comic picaresque bore.
