Thriller involving a dairy

[PS68060]

I remember seeing this in about 1990.



It was a modest budget late 70's or 80's film made in or around Lancashire and from what I remember revolved around a dairy.

[Windyridge]

See No Evil (sorry don't know how to post links) 1971? Wasn't there a dairy in that when Mia Farrow is being hunted by Paul Nicholas? Any more information?

[Hugo]

Could it be MILK ? Not the recent biopic with Sean Penn but the British black comedy of 1999 with James Fleet.

[PS68060]

No neither of those look likely.



This was smaller budget and more likely to be early 80's from what I remember of the cars featured.



I think the dairy involved might have been Didsbury or Lancashire.

[CaptainWaggett]

A farm or a milkman sort of dairy?

[PS68060]

From what I recall it was the industrial farming scale of dairy.



I don't think the actual dairy appeared much in the film, maybe a few lorries etc. It seemed to have been filmed in the lanes in the area around the dairy.

is there any plot?

[PS68060]

Yes a plot and an actor would help a lot, I'm struggling, it's been a long time.



I had hoped that there might not be too many low budget, 80's films, made in Cheshire in which a modern dairy featured.

This couldn't be Norman J. Warren's spoof spy film Gunpowder (1986)?



It was filmed in and around Macclesfield, Cheshire and according to the user comments at IMDB involved a milk/dairy business in the plot!

Euryale I think you have hit the nail on the head.



I couldn't remember if it was a spoof or just bad (and felt like a spoof). I do know that the intro to Carry on Spying always reminds me of this film but I wasn't sure if it was a spy plot or not.



Cheers.

Try 'Otley' Tom Courtney 1968. Watched about 10 minutes once. Nuf said.

[Merton Park]

There was another film about a farm from that era. The Olive Tree, made in 1975.
