Suspecting he plans to kill her for her money, she calls in her lover, who just happens to be Homicide Lieutenant Ed Cullen (Lee J Cobb). When Ed arrives, that gun gets used… and because of his relationship with Lois, Ed is compelled to compound a felony. The good news: Ed himself is assigned to the case. The bad news: Ed’s hotshot younger brother Andy (John Dall), a newly-minted detective, is also on the case… and is anxious to prove himself.

Buy Now Home Movie Day 2019, Saturday 19th October 11am - 4pm Home Movie Day is a worldwide celebration of amateur films and filmmaking, held annually, and is free and open to the public. For the tenth London Home Movie Day, film archivists will take time out of the vaults to help the public enjoy and save their home movies. Home Movie Day shows how home movies on 8mm, Super8, 9.5mm and 16mm offer a unique view of past life in London and of family history. There will be a free Film Clinic, staffed by volunteer film archivists, to which members of the public can bring their films for examination. Film London will be showcasing home movies from the London’s Screen Archives, archivists will be on hand throughout the day to offer advice about your home movies and projectionists will be screening home movies throughout the day. As people may have inherited films without the equipment to watch them, this is the most special and enjoyable part of the day. Home Movie Day is held at the Cinema Museum in Kennington, itself a shrine to the glory days of cinema. It’s a free event, family-friendly and anybody is welcome. You don’t need to bring a film to attend and enjoy the day!

Buy Now Amnesty Tower Hamlets Group present; No Stone Unturned (2017), Sunday 20th October @ 6:30pm The Amnesty Tower Hamlets group campaigns for human rights around the world. The group invites you to a screening of Alex Gibney’s documentary No Stone Unturned (2017). The film investigates the Loughinisland killings of six people as they watched a World Cup match in a pub in 1994 and the lack of justice for families of the victims. With all the political heat around the Northern Ireland backstop, it’s a timely reminder of the Troubles that the Good Friday Agreement brought largely to an end. Two journalists involved in making the documentary, Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey, were arrested by police in Northern Ireland in August 2018 and documents and computers seized from their homes and offices. Following a public campaign backing the journalists’ challenge to the legality of the raids in the High Court, the police were told to hand back the material. No Stone Unturned was one of the documentary films nominated for an Emmy in September.

Tickets cost £10 plus £1 booking fee, and funds raised go to Amnesty International UK, helping us to continue campaigning for human rights.  Advance tickets may be purchased from WeGotTickets.
