These Are the Damned (1963)The Damned (original title)
A gang of Teddy Boys, chanting, "black leather, black leather, smash, smash, smash!" march like fascist thugs through the streets of a quaint, gingerbread seaside town. Using a pretty girl (Shirley Anne Field) as bait they ambush an American tourist (Macdonald Carey), and rob and beat him. The leader of the gang, a vicious punk played by Oliver Reed, pursues the American and the girl when it becomes clear that they're interested in each other. Meanwhile, a woman (Viveca Lindfors) who creates hulking, death-like sculptures of animals, is having an intimate relationship with the scientist (Alexander Knox) who runs a secret program at a nearby military base. Later we will discover that he's breeding a group of radioactive children - children who have hearts and minds, but who are, for all intents and purposes, the living dead.
