Featuring Titto Gobbi, Valentina Cortese
Featuring the peerless voice of legendary
baritone Tito Gobbi, The Glass Mountain is a
classic British film romance enriched with the
sublime music of Italian opera.
Shot down and badly injured over the Italian
Alps during the Second World War, RAF pilot
Richard Wilder (Michael Dennison) is rescued
and nursed back to health by Alida (Valentina
Cortesa), a beautiful young Italian girl. As she
shares with him the local fables of The Glass
Mountain, they begin to fall hopelessly in love.
Richard, a young, successful composer before
the war, is enraptured not only by Alida but by
her stories from which he writes an
enchanting opera.

The film is set in Edinburgh
in the 1800’s starring Tod
Slaughter as William Hart;
this dark and gory film tells
the story of the infamous
grave robbers. Burke was
hanged and Hare avoided the
gallows by testifying against
Burke. This fi lm is rarely seen
and is graced with a fine cast.
Alongside Tod Slaughter, top
honours go to Henry Oscar
(1891-1969) as Mr. Moore
who equals Slaughter’s treacly
malevolence to such an extent
that neither actor steals the
scenes over the other. It is
equally delightful to see a very
young Aubrey Woods and also
Tod’s wife Jenny Lynn in the
role of Helen Moore.

mystery is suave and urbane
Paul Temple (John Bentley),
a former Scotland Yard
investigator who has become
a successful mystery novelist.
Paul frequently lends a hand
in the solution of real-life
crimes that challenge even
the most experienced
Scotland Yard sleuths. At his
side in these exploits is Steve
(Dinah Sheridan), his lovely
wife and partner-in-crimesolving. As the story begins,
Scotland Yard is unable to
unravel the “Rex” murders.
An unidentified killer who
signs his name as “Rex” has
slain three wealthy women

the victims carried pieces of
paper on which was written
the name “Mrs. Trevellyan.”

Thunder Rock
“Without ever breaking entirely
free from its theatrical origins,
this propagandist allegory
nevertheless succeeds in creating
an atmosphere that is at once
haunting, mournful and inspiring.
As the writer disillusioned by the
world’s complacent response
to fascism, Michael Redgrave
gives one of his most complex
and tormented performances,
as he regains the crusading spirit
from his encounters with the victims
of a shipwreck that occurred years
before on the rocks near the
lighthouse he now tends.
An adulterer’s plot to
murder his wife is foiled by
a watchful poltergeist.

“First Ever Release of this Freddie & the Dreamers
Classic. A Must for all Freddie fans”.
Filmed at Shepperton, It’s A Great
Day was based on an early British
television series, “The Grove Family”.
First transmitted in 1954 and
apparently named after the BBC’s
Lime Grove Studio where it was
filmed. The script for the film was
written by Roland and Michael
Pertwee, father and brother of
Jon Pertwee, a stalwart of British
cinema, television and radio, now
best remembered as one of the many
incarnations of Dr. Who. The film
features all the original television cast
members. Builder Bob Grove (Edward
Evans) finds his life becoming
increasingly complicated when he
innocently receives some stolen
property. He also has deadlines to
meet, as an impending royal visit to
the housing estate that he is building
draws closer.

home from Glasgow to

“Contemporary critics in the
main regarded the film as an
enjoyable frivolity with one
labelling it “jovial entertainment
for the masses”. The Film Report
said “there are many laughs and
few dull moments”, but also
found some of the humour on
the risqué side: “The situations
at times come very near the
edge and there are many
suggestive lines”...

A unique E.J. Fancy triple bill. Those familiar with the work of
Edwin John Fancey (1902–1980) will know that EJ could take some
free stock footage, use up and coming young talent at “commercial”
rates like Michael Winner, The Goons and promote his daughter
Adrienne Scott’s acting talents then craft together a short featurette
that qualified in the cinemas for the “Eady” money. None of the films
will ever be recorded as greats but are testament to EJ’s ability to
produce a low budget film that is a part of British film history.

She Knows
Y’Know
Dame Cicely Courtneidge (1893 1980) was the daughter of the producer
Robert Courtneidge and made her first
professional stage appearance in his
play, The Arcadians at the Shaftesbury
Theatre in July 1909. In 1916, she
married her stage partner, Jack Hulbert
and their careers encompassed the
stage, radio, television and film. She
also recorded popular songs such as
Noel Gay’s, There’s Something About
A Soldier. In 1972 she was created a
Dame for her services to entertainment.
Jack Hulbert (1892-1978), studied at
Cambridge and the Central School of
Speech and Drama. Throughout the
thirties, he successfully went on to act,
write and direct films. After the war he
and Cicely transferred their popular
entertainment to the theatre and radio,
performing revues and musical plays,
that encompassed their own brand of
light comedy, song and dance.

Born at 50 Wigan Road, Aspull,
Greater Manchester on 30th
January 1901. Frank was a
childhood friend of George Formby
and both of them went on to
become legends of their time. Frank
was just 15 when he first appeared
in the theatre as an acrobatic artist
(under the name Arthur Twist). It
wasn’t until 15 years later though
that he achieved great popularity as
a music hall comedian, whose wild
and manic temperament brought a
new style of quite risqué, if not
downright vulgar comedy to the
stage.

The British inmates of
a POW camp think they
have an informer among
them after several escape
attempts fail. One of
the prisoners makes a
dummy which they christen “Albert” and
use at roll call in order to foil the German
guards. The film is based on a true story.
Albert R.N. was a dummy constructed by
John Worsley (1919–2000) in Marlag O, the
prisoner of war camp in northern Germany
for naval officers. It was used as a stand-in
for a head count while a prisoner escaped
and was used on two separate occasions.

he begs the singer to assist
him. She is attracted to him
and agrees. The doctor

Newton, Wolfit pulls out all
the stops as the scroungy,
sinister musician/mesmerist
who hypnotizes lovely artist's
model Trilby (Hildegarde Neff)
and transforms her into a
world-famous singer. While
under Svengali's spell, Trilby
forgets all about "Little" Billy
(Terence Morgan) the starving
artist who loves her
fervently. But Billy
doesn't forget, and
follows Svengali and
Trilby all over the world.
The film's best moment
is the celebrated Covent
Garden climax, wherein
Svengali finally, and
fatally, relaxes his hold
on Trilby. ~ Hal Erickson,

“The film sets out to shock with

The Tiger
and The Flame
Set in India this lavish historical
drama tells the story of Queen Rani
Laxmibai of Jhansi, who was one
of the first Indians to rebel against the
British Rule. Rani Laxmibai finds a
prominent mention in history textbooks
of India but Sohrab Modi’s film takes an
in-depth look on the entire biography
of the queen; from her childhood to her
death. The film opens with the Queen’s
childhood when she was known as
Manu and had the courage to face an
elephant. When the chief adviser of
Jhansi, Raj Guru (Sohrab Modi) sees her
valour, he asks Manu’s father Moropant
to get her married to the much older
King of Jhansi, Gangadhar Rao
(Mubarak). So the 9-year-old Manu
is married off to the 50-year-old
Gangadhar. The story unfolds on the
life of Manu, her courage, political
ascensions and her struggles against
rivals. Photographed by Ernest Heller
(who had shot Gone With the Wind,
1939) and was deftly cut by Russell
Lloyd (The Man Who Would Be King,
1975), this was the first Indian
production to ‘Go Hollywood’.

RENOWN FILM CLUB
This 1957 E.J. Fancey production
is quite remarkable. Firstly, it is
not a film typical of E.J. Fancey’s
output and in many people’s
opinion, it is by far their best
production. Although there
aren’t many location shots, with
a good script and a very fine
cast, the film works.
The Traitor
“This Film Placed
Carol Reed in the forefront
of young British Directors.”
QUINLANS
Traitor
Aka The Accused
The Stars Look Down
1939 £12.99 £7.99
It’s a post wartime story of
French resistance and a traitor;
Anton Diffring is excellent as a
concert pianist rather
than his usual nasty Nazi and
Christopher Lee is very good
without his cape and fangs! Mr
Wolfit gives a typical Wolfit
turn but most interesting is
perhaps the director Michael
McCarthy, who also wrote the
screenplay and passed away in
1959 at the tender age of 42 and
seemed well set to go on to
bigger and better things. Picture
and sound are excellent

“Tinker, his only full-length feature,
highlights the work of left-wing
filmmaker and historian Herbert
Marshall. Strikingly filmed entirely
on location in the mining
communities of Durham
by Günther (Pandora’s Box) Krampf
and utilising a non-professional cast,
the film depicts the struggles of a
young tinker who, having rejected
his itinerant lifestyle, enrols on
a training scheme in the newly
nationalised coal industry. But
will his past life count against him?
