Programme 3
British comedy classics adapted from books
The Horse's Mouth 1958 dir. Ronald Neame w. Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh
Enter the world of brilliant, eccentric and forever starving artist Gully Jimson as he neurotically quests for the "perfect" wall for his masterpiece. This quirky British comedy masterpiece squeezes every bit of wit from the Joyce Carey novel.
The Wrong Box 1966 dir. Byran Forbes w. John Mills, Ralph Richardson, Peter Cook, Michael Caine
Unprincipled cads, cunning cousins and dastardly deeds populate one of the greatest of British comedies. The quickest way to inherit is to kill whoever's in the way. Peter Sellers steal the movie in his hilarious camero role. Robert Louis Stevenson and stepson penned the novel.
guest speaker: Risa Shuman, former executive producer for Saturday Night at the Movies
