THE FILM BUFFET- A Feast for Your Eyes April 13, 2008

Toronto Film Society presents part 7 of 7 double feature presentations. Today is THE BEST OF BRIT COMEDY
TOP SECRET (MR. POTTS GOES TO MOSCOW) 1952 dir. Mario Zampi w. George Cole, Oscar Homolka, Nadia Gray
When a British Sanitary Engineer (that's plumber to you) goes on holiday, he mistakenly takes plans for a new secret weapon that everybody, including the Russians, is looking for. Hilarious cold war farce.
PRIVATE'S PROGRESS 1956 dir. John Boulting w. Richard Attenborough,Terry-Thomas, Dennis Price, Ian Carmichael
British through and through in this cleverly scripted, rattling paced precusor to the more famous I'm Alright Jack (which we programmed a couple of years ago). No class is left unscathed with spot-on digs at the educated, working, and officer classes. The cast of the usual suspects of Brit comedy are in top form. Another fine film from the famous Boulting Brothers is a great example of how a film should be made.
Trial membership for this programme is $15 at the door.
That's it folks. Our Summer Series will start in early July. We also are offering an all inclusive weekend for film geeks at our annual SPRING FLING weekend getaway. One price gets you 2 nights hotel room, all meals (from dinner on the Friday evening through to lunch on the Sunday), snacks, feature films and shorts plus a guest speaker.
Our 26th annual RAIDING THE VAULTS at Eastman House in Rochester NY is due up the first weekend in August with an all 35mm lineup from the vaults of the famed archive.
