There's research to be done on how much the movie fuelled and forwarded the neo-pagan revival of the late 20th century. Certainly Lee's Summerisle was a hero and role model to the groups I mixed with or ran - and most of them regarded it as mandatory to sing "summer is a-comen in"- with much wicked, knowing laughter- at their May Day gatherings (though no-one knew it beyond the first two lines).
