This film was proposed by our member Stella Feehily and Gill Simpson, who writes: 'My favourite film (along with Parapluies de Cherbourg!!) Funny, moving – and has a social conscience. Lovely performances.'
Successful movie director John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea), convinced he won't be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to 'know trouble' first-hand. When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion (Veronica Lake), he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.
Please note, the screening on Monday 14 July is our free members' screening, while the one on Tuesday 22 July is a regular screening, which is open to the general public.
