| 10/30/23 |  Kino Quickies 13 - The Gaunt Stranger (1938) with Adrian Smith | For our first film at a venue other than the Kino, Bermondsey, we were delighted to be hosted on October 8th 2023 at the gorgeous Garden Cinema for our screening of The Gaunt Stranger (1938). Based on a novel by Edgar Wallace, The Gaunt Stranger is the story of a mysterious criminal called "The Ringer" who, although supposedly dead, has threatened to kill a corrupt lawyer called Maurice Meister at a specific time and date.Directed by Walter Forde with a screenplay by Sidney Gilliat, The Gaunt Stranger has a small place in history for being the first film to be produced at Ealing studios by Michael Balcon. It stars Mr Jessie Matthews himself, Sonnie Hale, along with Patrick Barr, Alexander Knox, Wilfrid Lawson and the ever fragrant & delightful Patricia Roc.Our guest for the Q&A was Dr Adrian Smith of the University of Sussex - not this Dr Adrian Smith of the University of Sussex or even this one but this one.Adrian is on Twitter, has two podcasts - The Wild, Wild Podcast & Second Features and recently published a book about the late Norman J Warren.Buy your very own copy of the <a... | — | ||||||
| 12/21/22 |  Kino Quickies 12 - Scrooge (1935) with Ming Ho | Scrooge (1935) was the subject of our Christmas special and the last Kino Quickie of the season.It's the first ever talkie version of A Christmas Carol and stars Seymour Hicks, a man who had played the part hundreds of times before, on both stage and screen.It's not this Seymour Hicks though.Our guest for the Q&A was the playright and screenwriter, Ming Ho.Follow Ming on Twitter.The Kino Cinema was packed to the rafters which made the second half of the Q&A all the more enjoyable as it was given over to some festive community singing led by a top secret mystery special guest.The best way to watch Scrooge (unless you happen to catch it on Talking Pictures TV or TPTV Encore) is to buy the DVD of the 1951 Alastair Sim version from Renown Films, because the Seymour Hicks version is included as a bonus extra feature.Ming's research for the Q&A went above and beyond and she turned up all sorts of interesting nuggets of information much of which was found in THIS BOOK. Unfortuantley it's extremely expensive at the moment but is available to read in the BFI Library.She also stumbled upon this - a record of the time Seymour Hicks's beloved wife and business partner, Ellaline Terris, appeared on This is Your Life.Your hosts at Kino Quickies screenings are Dom Delargy and Dr Lawrence Napper.Subscribe to our other film related podcast, Soho Bites and our non-film related one Mural Morsels.Watch Lawrence's online talk about quota quickies - its title is controversial!

| 12/9/22 |  Kino Quickies 11 - Death on the Set (1935) with Richard Farmer | The cups all those millions of fans out there of the Kino Quickies mascot, Henry Kendall, runneth over this day, because Death on the Set treats us to a double dose of him.Our Henry plays two unlikeable men - a very unpleasent film director and his drunken and disreputable lookalike - who are locked in a cycle of crime.It's based on a book by Victor MacClure which is now out of print but you can buy it online if you sell all of your belongings.Our guest for the Q&A is Richard Farmer, a researcher at Bristol University. He is currently researching UK film studios as part of a wider project called Studio Tec.During the Q&A we displayed two interesting maps which show the locations of all the film studios in and around London in the 1930s. See them here on the website of the late, great Roland-François Lack.Follow Richard and the Studio Tec project on twitterYour hosts at Kino Quickies screenings are Dom Delargy and Dr Lawrence Napper,Book tickets for Scrooge - THE LAST KINO QUICKIE OF THE SEASON HERESubscribe to our other film related podcast, Soho Bites and our non-film related one Mural Morsels.Watch Lawrence's online talk about quota quickies - its title is controversial!

| 11/25/22 |  Kino Quickies 10 - A Fire Has Been Arranged (1935) with Steve Chibnall | A Fire Has Been Arranged is the first full length feature starring the comedy musical duo, Flanagan & Allen.The first of two films in the season to be directed by Leslie Hiscott, it also stars Robb Wilton and a 35 year old (but perpetually middle-aged) Alastair Sim. It was, like many quota quickies, produced by Julius Hagan at Twickenham Studios.Our guest for the Q&A is quota quickie royalty in the form of the author Steve Chibnall, who literally wrote the book on quota quickies. It's called Quota Quickies by Steve Chibnall.You can buy Quota Quickies by Steve Chibnall on the internet.And the DVD of A Fire Has Been Arranged is widely available.In 1978, an elderly Ches Allen appeared on ITV's "Looks Familiar".Flanagan & Allen singing their most famous song, Underneath the Arches.Your hosts at Kino Quickies screenings are Dom Delargy and Dr Lawrence Napper,Book tickets for all future Kino quickies screening at our ticketing site.Subscribe to our other film related podcast, Soho Bites and our non-film related one Mural Morsels.Watch Lawrence's online talk about quota quickies - its title is controversial!

| 11/10/22 |  Kino Quickies 09 - I Lived With You (1933) with John Snelson | I Lived With You (1933) - a comedy starring Ivor Novello, based on a play that he wrote - is the third film in this second season of Kino Quickies.Novello plays a homeless Russian prince who meets Gladys Wallis (Ursula Jeans) in the maze at Hampton Court and moves in with her family. His presence in this normal family home has chaotic effects on the whole household. Also starring Ida Lupino as Glad's sister, Ada and Eliot Makeham & Minnie Rayner as her parents, the film was directed by the most prolific director in UK film history, Maurice Elvey.Our guest for the Q&A is the author John Snelson, who has written extensively about the performing arts and has a new book coming out soon about the history of British musicals.I Lived With You has been released on DVD by Renown Films. Currently, however, all the copies available online are really expensive, so hopeully it will turn up on Talking Pictures TV and TPTV Encore soon.

| 10/26/22 |  Kino Quickies 08 - The Impassive Footman (1932) with Mel Byron | The Impassive Footman (1932), is the earliest film in Kino Quickies season 2. It's a tense melodrama about an unhappy marriage, a foiled affair and a doctor's dilemma, all watched over by a mysterious -you might even say impassive - footman.The film stars George Curzon as the eponymous footman, Betty Stockfeld & Allan Jeayes as the married couple at the centre of the film and Owen Nares as dashing young doctor, Bryan Daventry.NOBODY is credited as the film's director - the candidates are its producer, Basil Dean and Graham Cutts. We try to get to the bottom of this in the Q&A.Our guest for the Q&A is comedian and host of the Talking Pictures TV Podcast, Mel Byron.The TPTV podcast is mostly made up of reviews of upcoming films submitted by TPTV viewers. Mel and the team are always looking for new contributors - especially of the lady variety because it's currently a bit chap-heavy. If you'd like to take part, get in touch with them on Twitter, Facebook or by email.And you can follow Mel on TwitterThe Impassive Footman is available as part of a DVD box set which you can buy here.Your hosts at Kino Quickies screenings are Dom Delargy and Dr Lawrence Napper,Book tickets for all future Kino quickies screening at our ticketing site.Subscribe to our other film related podcast, Soho Bites and our non-film related one Mural Morsels.Watch Lawrence's online talk about quota quickies - its title is controversial!
