Here’s a selection that’ll tickle your funny-bone. ........................................................................... ........................................................................... Modern Times (1936) Annie Hall (1977) Saturday 17th September 7.30pm Tickets: £5.50 Monday 12th September 7.30pm Tickets: £5.50 Directed by Charles Chaplin and starring Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard. As the iconic character The Tramp, Chaplin plays an assembly-line worker driven insane by the monotony of his job. On release from the asylum and a spell in jail he meets and is smitten by a feisty orphaned gamine and becomes her friend and protector as they attempt to survive in a new industrial age. Modern Times is a timeless piece of comic genius. ........................................................................... Did you know ... Charlie Chaplin allows The Tramp to speak on camera for the first time during the restaurant scene, but insisted that what The Tramp says is universal. The song The Tramp sings is in gibberish, but it is possible to follow the story he tells by his superb acting and hand gestures. 30 Directed by Woody Allen and starring Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. This comedy is a classic boy meets girl story. A neurotic forty-something divorcee, Alvy Singer (Woody Allen), examines the rise and fall of his relationship with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton), a flighty insecure nightclub singer. Annie Hall is full of intellectual wit and raw emotional edge. It bursts with beautiful comedy and is a must for any Woody Allen fan. ........................................................................... Did you know ... Woody Allen and Diane Keaton had trouble keeping a straight face when working together. An example of the uncontrollable laughter between the two was the lobster dinner scene. It was the first scene shot for the movie and neither Woody nor Diane had to do much acting for the scene as their laughter was completely spontaneous. DOORS OPEN 7pm - FILMS START 7.30pm ........................................................................... ........................................................................... Some Like It Hot (1959) The Big Lebowski (1998) Tuesday 20th September 7.30pm Tickets: £5.50 Friday 23rd September 7.30pm Tickets: £5.50 Directed by Billy Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. Directed by Joel & Ethan Coen and starring Jeff Bridges and John Goodman. When two struggling musicians witness The St Valentine’s Day Massacre they need to get-outta-town and escape the gangsters responsible. Joe (Tony Curtis) and Jerry (Jack Lemmon) cross-dress to secure a gig in an all female band heading to Florida. This screwball comedy fizzes from start to finish; with its flawless script and superb performances it deserves its place amongst the greats. ........................................................................... Did you know ... When Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon first put on the female make-up and costumes, they walked around Goldwyn Studio lot to see if they could ‘pass’ as women. Then they tried using mirrors in public ladies rooms to fix up their makeup, and when none of the women using it complained, they knew they could be convincing women! The Big Lebowski is all about attitude. This cult classic does have a story, but really, it’s the attitude that pulls the film together. In this trippy, visually rich film Jeff Bridges lets his hair down as Jeff Lebowski ‘The Dude’, an easy going throwback who is mistaken for the less laidback ‘Big Lebowski’, a mean tempered millionaire. This film is packed with unforgettable characters and great dialogue. 4 TICKET DEAL ........................................................................... If you buy all 4 tickets you get to see the fourth film for only £3 - just bring all your four tickets to the last film, The Big Lebowski, and we reimburse you £2.50 ........................................................................... Did you know ... Before filming a scene, Jeff Bridges would frequently ask the Coen Brothers “Did The Dude burn one on the way over?” If they said he had, he would rub his knuckles in his eyes before doing a take to make his eyes appear bloodshot. P.S. The jellied sandals that Jeff Bridges wears throughout the movie are his own! 31 ST IVES SCHOOL OF PAINTING FESTIVAL WORKSHOPS Tickets are available ONLY from: ST IVES SCHOOL OF PAINTING, PORTHMEOR STUDIOS, BACK ROAD WEST, ST IVES TR26 1NG Tel: 01736 797180 Online: www.schoolofpainting.co.uk 32 ALL MATERIALS FOR THE FOLLOWING WORKSHOPS ARE INCLUDED IN THE TICKET PRICE ...........................................................................
