...They," in this case, referred to the vast labyrinth in the basement of Kirkland House, from whence come around 6300 meals each day, but where grinding up jockeys--or even horses for that matter--has certainly never been practiced. Today, the College Dining Halls Unit supplies bakery goods for the entire University, feeds Kirkland, Eliot, Winthrop, Lowell, and Leverett and operates the Eliot House Grill on the side.

The Toronto Jewish Congress called on Rank representatives to complain, but later decided to drop the matter. "We feel," one was quoted as saying, that an Englishman has just as much right to complain about Bill Sikes." Could Rank quiet the din by reshooting some scenes in the $1,600,000 picture?
