I may be in London the weekend of 13th/14th Jan. If so, I may give Cast A Dark Shadow a look.

I bought a dvd of this off ebay a while ago .... I watched an hour but the picture broke up so I have never seen the end. What I did see I really enjoyed.

Wonder if it'll come to GFT?
She was terrific, and gorgeous, too!

Default Margaret Lockwood season
Hi
Please forgive a blatant bit of publicity but BFI Southbank is showing a whole month of Margaret Lockwood films in January, including an extended run of The Lady Vanishes. Muriel Pavlow and Julie Harris (costume designer) will be there to introduce some of the screenings and there are some rare television plays on too. Go to
http://www.bfi.org.uk/whatson/bfi_so...garet_lockwood
for more information.
I'd be interested to hear any comments on her work or the choice of films.

I coicidentally have been watching A Girl Must Live directed by Carol Reed in 1938 which i think is one of the funniest comedies of the 1930s.Lockwood is playing a relatively straight role up against Renee Houston and Lilly Palmer.Given that the film has a star studded cast including no less a luminary than George Robey i think she does a good job in the far less showy leading role.

Where? Oh, you mean the NFT

(We don't have any smiley icons for a dinosaur or an ostrich with it's head stuck in the ground)

I really can't see the point of that name change. It'll always be the NFT to me.

I'm rather excited by this season, but a shame there's a gap between the films and the two TV play showings...

Do see 'Cast a Dark Shadow' it's one of her best performances and the rest of the cast is fabulous - Mona Washbourne, Kay Walsh, Kathleen Harrison and Dirk Bogarde. It becomes a little set-bound toward the end though (it was originally a play called 'Murder Mistaken') but it is thoroughly entertaining. There is also a rather startling scene of Bogarde casually reading a certain type of magazine which must have raised a few eyebrows amongst his female fans.

Today I saw The Lady Vanishes and The Man in Grey. The first was new to me and brilliant. Frank Skinner was sat near me...

The Man in Grey is most certainly the edited print. The quality wasn't too good, and the edits were very jumpy. In some parts a loud buzzing sound totally ruined the film. I have the full-length print on DVD, but you'd think the BFI would know better.

Apparently that version of TMIG was a mistake and has now been rectified.
