Two of the most notorious figures in the history of medicine, William Burke and William Hare were a pair of enterprising street thugs who provided anatomical specimens to the Edinburgh Medical College, often by robbing the graves of the recently dead, sometimes through even more nefarious methods. Derren Nesbitt and Glynn Edwards bring these two scoundrels to life in BURKE AND HARE, a colorful, early '70s rendition of life in the taverns, brothels and surgical theatres of 1820s Scotland. While other filmmakers have treated the Burke and Hare murders as a source of gothic horror, director Vernon Sewell (THE BLOOD BEAST TERROR) offers a playful spin on the Irish body snatchers, blending dark comedy with bawdy eroticism, seasoning it with the grotesque, then crowning it with a playful theme song by the pop band The Scaffold. 译文(2): 威廉 · 伯克(William Burke)和威廉 · 黑尔(William Hare)是医学史上最臭名昭著的两个人物，他们是一对富有进取心的街头暴徒，为爱丁堡医学院提供解剖标本，经常通过抢劫新近死去的人的坟墓，有时甚至采用更邪恶的方法。Derren Nesbitt 和 Glynn Edwards 在《伯克和野兔》中将这两个恶棍带入了生活，这是19世纪70年代早期苏格兰酒馆、妓院和外科手术室中生活的一个多彩的表演。当其他电影制作人把伯克和黑尔谋杀案当作哥特式恐怖的来源时，导演弗农 · 休厄尔(Vernon Sewell)(《血兽恐怖》)对爱尔兰的身体掠夺者提供了一个有趣的故事，将黑色喜剧与淫秽色情相结合，用怪诞来调味，然后用流行乐队“脚手架”的一首有趣的主题歌加冕。
