Movie
Sinful Davey
Synopsis
Davey Haggart (John Hurt) wishes to follow his father's footsteps and become a highway robber. He also wishes to avoid his father's fate -- which was death by hanging at the tender age of 21 after a botched robbery of the Duke of Argyle (Robert Morley). Davey commits a daring robbery in broad daylight with the help of two henchmen (Ronald Fraser and Fidelma Murphy) and heads for the highlands of Scotland to hide out. The local Constable (Nigel Davenport) warns young Davey he will end up just like his father but helps him escape the fate of dancing on the end of a rope. Annie (Pamela Franklin) is the kind-hearted farm girl who tries to make sweet Davey give up a life of crime and settle down. This comedy was taken from the autobiographical diary"The Life Of David Haggart.", Whimsical tale about a young 19th-century Scotsman who deserts from the army to embark on a career as a highwayman, following in his father's ill-fated footsteps. He sets out to rob the wealthy Duke of Argyll, and in due course finds himself in the company of the very man who hanged his father. Anjelica Huston makes her screen debut.
