Here are a very few glimpses of Michael Gothard between takes.
These first few are Ken Russell doing a bit of filming, and working something out by measuring how far the actor are from the camera. Meanwhile, Michael seems to be annoyed by his glove, and using his teeth to sort it out.



Then there was a bit where Michael was taking some direction from Ken Russell as to how to play this scene with Oliver Reed.
KR: [demonstrating] "Confess! Confess!" [spits]
MG: Yeah, I got you ... Yeah.
KR: So then he'll go away - like, the spit and the cross goes together.
