The Music Man
1962 (U): 2 hr 31 min
Written by Meredith Willson, Franklin Lacey and Marion Hargrove; directed by Morton DaCosta; starring Robert Preston, Shirley Jones and Buddy Hackett.
Traveling con artist Harold Hill targets the naïve residents of a small town in 1910s Iowa by posing as a boys’ band leader to raise money before he can skip town. It’s just a bang-beat, bell-ringin’, big-haul, great-go, neck-or-nothin’, rip-roarin’, ever’-time-a bull’s-eye movie! The story of the man and his 76 trombones, and the wonderful, wonderful tune he played on every heart in town!

The Taste of Things
2023 (12A): 2 hr 15 min
Written by Anh Hung Tran and Marcel Rouff; directed by Anh Hung Tran; starring Juiette Binoche, Benoit Magimel and Emmanuel Salinger.
The story of Eugenie, an esteemed cook, and Dodin – the fine gourmet chef she has been working for over the last 20 years. Growing fonder of one another, their bond turns into a romance and gives rise to delicious dishes that impress even the world’s most illustrious chefs. When Dodin is faced with Eugenie’s reluctance to commit to him, he decides to start cooking for her. A leisurely, luminous portrait of love, culture and cuisine, the film is a feast for the eyes. It’s all about partnership through a shared passion, conveying feelings through fewer words and baked Alaska. With such deep themes and beautiful visuals, no wonder it’s France’s selection for this year’s Academy Awards.

Nicky visits Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realized it was a race against time. How many children could be rescued before the borders closed? Fifty years later Nicky still lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety, blaming himself for not doing more. But a live BBC television show has a surprise for him.
