What happens

Sinful Davey is a 1969 picaresque adventure/crime/comedy film directed by John Huston and starring John Hurt, Pamela Franklin, and, in an early appearance, Fionnula Flanagan. Huston's daughter Anjelica Huston appears uncredited as an extra. John Huston later said the film was "very good" but "spoiled beyond recognition" by the producers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
