Contrary to the title of this column, there's nothing really "...from Hell" about this picture.
In fact, I think it's a genuinely charming-yet-staged snapshot of a struggling actor working on a building site, trying to make ends meet before landing himself a role that will change his life (and the lives of millions) forever.
Besides, it's also a wonderful document of the Faces That Adults Had when I was growing up.
I swear that the chaps on extreme left and extreme right were once spotted working on farms in my very own mist-shrouded corner of rural Yorkshire circa 1978-79...
