Just watched an old Hitchcock - his penultimate film, apparently - about a serial killer in London. An early scene features a couple of blokes in a pub discussing the latest killing:
#1: Apparently he rapes his victims before he kills them.
#2: Yes, well, they say there's always a silver lining
This 'joke', for it is clearly meant as such - ie, at least they get a bit of fun before they're murdered - is appreciated by the landlady, who gives the 'joker' a smirking 'Oo, you are awful' smile as she turns away to get their drinks.
This, mark you, in a film made in 1972.
The good old days, eh? None of this PC nonsense.
