This film is a comedy drama biopic about the little-known final chapter in the lives of comedy legends Laurel and Hardy. Steve Coogan and John C Reilly give great portrayals of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the heart-warming story of what would become the pair's triumphant farewell tour.
With their golden era long behind them,the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule,and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda)- a formidable double act in their own right- the pair's love of performing,as well as for each other, endures as the tour becomes a hit and they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.
The film is a portrait of the most tender and poignant of creative marriages which unfolds as the duo,aware that they may be approaching their swan song,rediscover just how much they mean to each other.
The screening of Bohemian Rhapsody was a great success with an amazing attendance form the inhabitants of Nayland and the surrounding villages. Everyone had a lovely evening and thoroughly enjoyed the film. We were all certainly taken back in time with the fantastic music and there was plenty of foot tapping along with some quiet singing.
The Anchor Inn produced a voucher with their latest offer for cinema goers which was available on entrance to the Village Hall and at the bar. This entitles the bearer to a 10% reduction from their food bill, for tables up to 4 people, valid Monday to Friday until the next film screening on the 12th April when a new offer will be available.
