Yes, I am a pedant. :cool:
You are right- wrong sister, but in my defence, i saw it a while ago. And the book is much better and atmospheric than the film. The idea of actually imagining the asylum was so much better than actually seeing it. Especially as I once worked in a place very similar many years ago, so could understand the protocol and the yearly 'balls' that patients had.

And Doc, I loved Wyndham-The Chrysalids is my favourite- the bit about the hanging still haunts me 20 years or so after reading it.
