Following a small refurbishment to further improve sound quality, the Angus Glens Film club will be kicking off its new season on the 26th October 2007 with a popular selection of classic films, selected from suggestions from its enthusiastic audience. 

26th October    Singin’ in the Rain

The famous 1952 comedy musical featuring much loved songs and dance routines from stars Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds giving a comic portrayal of Hollywood’s change from silent films to ‘talkies’.

16th November - special screening of ‘The Queen’ as fundraiser for Rural

30th November    The Lady killers

The classic Ealing comedy of theft, murder and deception, starring Alec Guiness, Peter Sellers, Cecil parker, Herbert Lom, Jack Warner and Katie Johnson.

The gang plot a sophisticated armoured car robbery, while convincing Mrs Wilberforce, (an eccentric landlady, devoted to her parrots) that they are in fact musicians using the room for rehearsal space by playing records. The plot thickens when Mrs Wilberforce realises the gang have been deceiving her!

Christmas Show 14th December    Scrooge

The 1951 classic adaptation of Dickens’ Christmas Carol, starring Alastair Sim in arguably the definitive portrayal of the role. One for all the family in the run up for the festive season.

18th January    Casablanca

The Oscar-winning 1942 romance set in the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca. Humphrey Bogart stars as Rick Blaine and Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund. The film focuses on Rick's conflict between love and virtue: he must choose between his love for Ilsa and doing the right thing, helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from Casablanca to continue the fight against the Nazis.

 29th February    The VIP

An eminent navy officer has the misfortune to parachute into a German POW camp and does everything in his power to keep his identity secret and escape – even if it means being sent to Coventry by his fellow prisoners! Wartime farce starring James Robertson Justice, Leslie Phillips, Stanley Baxter, Eric Sykes, John le Mesurier and Richard Wattis.

28th March   The Maltese Falcon 

Produced in 1941, this famous film tells the story of the entanglement of a San Francisco private investigator (Sam Spade, payyed by Humphrey Bogart) with three greedy, unscrupulous and murderous adventurers who compete with each other to obtain a fabulous jewel-encrusted statuette of a falcon worth millions. Roger Ebert called this ‘the greatest film of all time’ – so a great one to end the season with!
