Magic Lantern slide of the Phantom Coach sign in Coventry. The pub is still in business & so is the coachman who haunts the premises whilst the sound of galloping horses can be heard late at night. Sadly, the pub has since yielded to modernity & has a new sign but the ghosts remain, nonetheless.

"Despite the heavy subject matter, Sembène's filmmaking is often playful, lampooning the inherent ridiculousness of the religious hypocrisies on display while taking bold formal swings."

There was a time when owning books was a privilege. People wrote rhymes in them warning against theft. Late C17th examples include 'Steal not this book for fear of shame. For in it you see the owner's name. And if I catch you by the tail. You must prepare for Newgate jail.'
