Hue and Cry (free admission for children) December 10, 2006

HUE AND CRY
Charles Crighton, GB, 1946, 82mins
Plus additional shorts.

Hue and Cry is generally described as the 'first Ealing comedy'. With a stalwart cast of British comedy actors, including the great Alistair Sim, Jack Warner and a very young Harry Fowler, and set in the bomb-damaged streets of Docklands just after the second world war, the film celebrates the solidarity of working class street kids as they combine to foil the activities of a gang of crooks who are using the youngsters' favourite comic serial as a means to further their nefarious plans. A first for the LSFC, this showing will be free to young people aged 16 and under.
