NOTES Included here to feed argument, i.e.. are disabled people

portrayed any better these days? (See also 'Batman Returns'

). Flattop, Lips, Mantlis, Mumbles, Pruneface, Shoulders,

The Browt are the "grotesque villains" but then this is a film

faithful to the 40s comic strip it is based upon. A superb film

especially in its use of colour.

Vail Reese claims that Pruneface's face results from sun

damage.
