Die Laughing-Comedy with a Twist of Crime Film Festival August 13, 2007

5th of our 7 double bills of murderous summer fun on the big screen
BRIT FLICKS
Two stellar films from 2 of Britain's finest comedians.

Spare a Copper 1940 with George Formby, Bernard Lee
A hidden gem of UK comedy. At Merseyside, a police reservist becomes a hero when he catches shipyard saboteurs until the police think he might be one of the gang. The almost forgotten Formby shows why he was one of the UK's top comedians.

Two Way Stretch 1960 dir. Robert Day with Peter Sellers, Lionel Jeffries
A classic comedy from the great Peter Sellers. A group of convicts decide to commit the perfect crime-break out of prison and commit robberies and return to jail with non the wiser. That's sounds simple. Wry shenanigans from a stellar cast.

Free film notes with each screening.
$15 for the double bill at the door
