Wasn't there a movie with Richard Burton back in the 70's about this very subject called Equus?

I think in Equus
a screwed up kid blinds horses.
But in this novel

the very first scene
is a spy getting killed by
being lifted up

and having a rod
from a giant out door clock
inserted in his

neither regions and
then the guy's left to slip down
for hours until

eventually
the rod spears vital organs . . .
Wacky spy novels!

No. Its a screwed up play I covered in high school. The boy in Equus blinds horses.

Because he's embarassed to have sex with his girlfriend.

Because he caught his father at a porn theatre.

He liked horses in a non-sexual way before, because he viewed themas a bringer of freedom and strength.
