No, the one I'm thinking of was a 1950s Amercian B movie which featured a rabid bloke being tied to a stake outside all night, where he howled like a dog.

Ooh, that sounds good, too. This one had lots of frothing at the mouth and extended sequences depicting the hallucinations induced by the disease. It also started with a really creepy rendition of 'All Things Bright And Beautiful'.

Not to worry you here, la, but when I lived in the Fatherland, a few of the woods near me had Tollwurt signs at the entrance.

You lived in the North didn't you? In Munich most of the dogs are carried in handbags as fashion accessories even if they had rabies you can boot the little ****ers to kingdom come before they bite you. Not that I advocate that sort of thing

Add in the prospect of Nuclear War and it sure was a fun time to grow up. The rabies thing is the same for me. Up I remember the first time I went to France (81 or 82 I think) I was petrified evertime I saw a dog, even if they were on a lead with respectable owners. All foreign dogs had rabies didn't they.

It was all those posters on the cross channel ferries. Black with a sort of drawing of a slavering dog's head in red with "La Rage" written in big red letters above.
