This then is the treatment people get when they go to Portmeirion! It would seem that the Village is still operating today. Although Village transport does appear to have been up-graded, look, as this poor citizen is taken away for treatment at the hospital!
This image puts me in mind of a 1972 Spanish film 'La Cabina,' in which a chap gets locked in a telephone booth, who is eventually taken away on the back of a truck!
Be seeing you, unlike this poor fellow!
Otherwise known as 'The Phone Booth'. Like 'The Prisoner', it has a great soundtrack and is full of imagery and symbolism! (I have it on VHS.)

Hello Steve,
DeleteLikewise, since the first time I saw it in the 1970's. A dark story which I've found more difficult to fathom than parts of 'the Prisoner!'

'La Cabana' also features a dwarf (with similar features to Angelo Muscat) and an Alouette II helicopter!

Hi Steve,
DeleteYes the Alouette helicopter, but I forgot about the Angelo Muscat looking Dwarf.
