2020 London Section Meetings


April 4th - St. Gabriel's Annual Spring Fair from 10.30am. Just £2 on he door. Many stalls plus the
'bring and buy'. Light refreshments will be on sale.
All are welcome, bring along a friend and meet like minded colleagues.
SADLY CANCELLED BECAUSE OF THE CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK

THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE ALSO POSTPONED

April 18th - The Group 9.5 AGM will commence the evening. This will be followed by the screening
of some 9.5mm optical sound films presented by Cliff Perriam and projected by Graham Sinden.
In addition to some shorts, will be the 5 reel feature "The Green Pack" made in 1934. A unique drama
directed by T. Hayes Hunter. It stars John Stuart, Aileen Marson and Gary Marsh with good support
from Michael Shepley and Hugh Miller. Based on a play by Edgar Wallace. Today it is very much a lost film.
Production and distribution by British Lion.

May 9th - "The Man In The Road" (GB 1956), a caper involving foreign agents and a ring of spies.
An injured scientist with amnesia is tricked into disappearing behind the Iron Curtain.
Directed by Lance Comfort and made at Beaconsfield. A stable cast headed by Derek Farr, Ella Raines
and Cyril Cusack. Also Donald Wolfit, Lisa Danielly, Karel Stepaneck, Russell Napier and others.
Plus some shorts, all on 16mm from Ronald Pearce.

May 30th - The Ealing classic "Hue And Cry" from 1947 that was directed by Charles Crighton is
highly rated and an excellent crime comedy. It invloves fur thieves that are eventually rounded
up by gangs of boys in a fine climax with much use being made of London locations.
Stars Jack Warner, Harry Fowler, Alastair Sim, Valerie White and Joan Dowling and a host of
familiar faces of the time. Plus supporting material, all on 16mm from Ronald Pearce.

June 20th - "My Learned Friend" (GB 1943). is another Ealing Studios classic. Will Hay directed
(with Basil Dearden) and stars alongside Claude Hulbert and Mervyn Johns. Also seen are
Hy Hazell, Ernest Thesiger, Maudie Edwards, and Charles Victor among others. A mad-cap
black farce with a busy plot. The star's last and one of his best. Culminates in a suspenseful
sequence on the face of Big Ben. Some selected shorts will complete the programme.
All on 16mm presented by Ronald Pearce.

July 4th - "Crooks Anonymous" (GB 1962). A comedy in which a petty thief joins an
organisation for reforming criminals, but is tempted again, along with all the others.
Directed by Ken Annakin and features Leslie Phillips, Stanley Baxter, James Robertson Justice
with Julie Christie and Wilfred Hyde White. Amusingly plotted with a good cast.
Again provided by Ronald Pearce on 16mm who will include some supporting shorts.

 

I will try to update this entry regularly - health permitting!! (gln - March2020)



A photograph of yours truly Grahame Newnham at a Pimlico show with Dominic De Bast a keen Group 9.5 member
over in London from Belgium for a short stay. Dominic is also a member of the French Cine-Club 9.5 de France.
The picture was taken by our then Group 9.5 Chairman Brian Everett on 10th June 2000 -
I was about to screen "
Dangerous Years" on 9.5mm optical sound, using my converted Elf/Eiki projector
using the 9.5mm 2400 foot 'giant spools' I used to distribute, enabling a full 8 reel feature without a break.
Didn't I look young then, still able to lift heavy projectors etc. - pity about the grey hair though!
