Back in April, the BFI held a screening of Intimate Relations (1953), an adaptation of Jean Cocteau's Les Parents Terribles (?) that was critically panned at the time. It was the first big screen role with William Russell and had the tagline of "The Most Provocative Film Of The Year". Whoever had the chance to see it is lucky, there's no home release of it.
Anyways, here's the page of the screening. That publicity picture, never seen it before, but it was used as a base for some posters on some newspapers.
Russell was very disappointed, he thought "this is it, my time to shine!" and the movie did awful lol. Want to see it either way. He's got amazing hair.
Oh and I came across this not too long ago. The publicity picture is well-known (in the Russell fans' circle, that is), but this scan is soooo good. I can see the bloody pores on their skin! And his... acne scars? Can relate, if true.

Forgot to post this at the time, because it was my birthday and Eurovision day, but Tragical History Tour updated their William Russell page with some Lancelot publicity pics (with no watermarks!) and some The Man Who Never Was and Adventure Story ones I haven't seen before. Best. Birthday gift. Ever (unless the Beeb wants to release The Chopping Block on my birthday, pretty please?)

This publicity picture for the TV play The Patch Card, that I only saw in bad newspaper prints. Messed around in TinEye to get it. Apparently from a deleted Tumblr blog?
