Calling all aviation enthusiasts – this is your chance to see two classic RAF movies on the big screen.
To commemorate Battle Of Britain Week in this the 60th Anniversary Year of D-Day, HULL SCREEN – East Yorkshire’s only art house cinema is bringing two classic British films back to the silver screen. This is your chance to see:
The Way to the Stars Friday 10th September at 2pm and 7.30pm
Known for its memorable opening sequence, this classic film is a must see on the big screen. Good performances distinguish this evocation of a World War Two bomber base in England. Studiously antiheroic in its concentration on human relationships rather than stirring combat. Although set in the South of England ‘The Way to the Stars’ was actually filmed at RAF Catterick in North Yorkshire in 1945.
Journey Together Saturday 11th September at 7.30pm
Directed by John Boulting and produced by the RAF Film Unit in 1945, this film pays tribute to those who trained and flew with Bomber Command. Richard Attenborough (in his first starring role) plays an aspiring pilot who travels to America – only to be told by his flying instructor (played by Edward G Robinson) that he won’t make the grade. Instead he returns to England as a bumbling navigator, where his questionable skills are put to the test as they ditch in open water following a raid on Germany.
Without grovelling too much, the premise behind appealing directly to those with a keen interest in the RAF (and our aeronautical heritage) is that if successful, more classics of the British cinema will be shown. So this is your chance to support one of the north’s few remaining independent cinemas – through your patronage. The more bums on seats the more likely that other classic aviation films will be shown. For additional programme and location details telephone Hull Screen Box Office on (01482) 327600.
