Synopsis for
Brimstone & Treacle (1982) More at IMDbPro »

Controversial Grand Prize winner of Montreal Film Festival. A taut, audacious thriller with a bite - and Sting ! Sting is stunning ! Subtle, colorful and reveting ! The film owes its mood of unverable eroticism to Sting, a gifted and charismatic actor ! As Martin Taylor, Sting is a strange sexy young man who worms his way into the lives of a middle-aged couple. Their attractive daugter Pattie ( Suzanna Hamilton ) has been paralyzed for four years, victim of a hit-and-run accident. Her father ( Denholm Elliott ) suspect young Taylor's of dark motives : her mother ( Joan Plowright ) is completely seduced by Taylor charm. With a sound track by Polic, Squeeze, The Go-Go's and Sting himself, Brimstone & Treacle is intriguing, sinister and something altogether different !
