Film Club – July 2019 – “Stan and Ollie”

Friday evening, 12th July 7:30pm 

‘Stan & Ollie’ (2018)

Steve Coogan and John C Reilly star as Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the untold story of the world’s greatest comedy act.  Stan & Ollie   wonderfully portrays the unique and precious partnership of the legendary duo as they set out on a tour of Britain in the twilight of their career.  Whilst they face an uncertain future, the charm and beauty of their performances shine through, making each other and their audiences laugh, re-connecting them with legions of adoring fans, old and new. Coogan and Reilly are faultless as Laurel and Hardy, and tell a poignant tale of friendship, resentment, financial uncertainty and illness in the unglamorous, uncaring, fast-changing world of post-war showbiz.  Above all it is an affectionate tribute to two of the world’s best loved and funniest duos, and their innocent, timeless humour which continues to delight audiences even today.
