This film starring Jack Lemmon and Juliet Mills may be of interest to some members, though I am not currently able to attend. Sign-up if you are planning to go so attendees can meet-up (if you wish). Director Billy Wilder * With Jack Lemmon, Juliet Mills, Clive Revill, Edward Andrews * USA-Italy 1972. 144min * 35mm * Certificate 12A Wendell Armbruster Jr is a put-upon businessman forced to take time out of his busy schedule to collect his father’s corpse. Displaced from the boardroom to the rolling hills of Italy, he is surprised to learn of an also-deceased mistress and her irritatingly friendly daughter. A brilliant fish-out-of-water comedy and a covert attack on America’s profit-driven culture, Avanti! revisits many of Wilder’s recurring themes from a more mature, slightly softer perch. A drink and/or snack before or after the film is possible at this venue. Dave (07887 683171)
