Yours Unfaithfully
Writer
An “un-romantic comedy” about the price of free love, Yours Unfaithfully is an insightful, intelligent and exceptionally intimate peek behind the closed doors of an open marriage. Stephen and Anne, blissfully happy for eight years, are committed to living up to their ideals. When Stephen, a writer who isn’t writing, begins to sink into a funk of unproductive moodiness, Anne encourages him to seek out a fresh spark. Can their marriage survive uncompromising generosity, sacrifice and love? More than the story of an unconventional couple, the play is about what happens when our ideals clash with our emotions.
Conflict
Writer
Conflict is a love story set against the backdrop of a hotly contested election. Miles Malleson combines his two great passions: sex and politics. The result is a provocative romance that sizzles with both wit and ideas. It’s the Roaring 20’s, London. Lady Dare Bellingdon has everything she could want, yet she craves something more. Dare’s man, Sir Major Ronald Clive, is standing for Parliament with the backing of Dare’s father. Clive is a Conservative, of course, but he’s liberal enough to be sleeping with Dare, who’s daring enough to take a lover, but too restless to marry him. Clive’s opponent, Tom Smith is passionate about social justice and understands the joy of having something to believe in. Dare is “the woman between” two candidates who both want to make a better world—until politics become personal, and mudslinging threatens to soil them all.

H・G・ウェルズのSF月世界探検
Dymchurch Registrar
H.Gウェルズ"月世界最初の人間"が原作の1964年製作のSF映画。 人類初の月面着陸に成功。全世界が祝祭ムードの中、調査隊は月面にてイギリス国旗と1899年とサインのある置き手紙を発見する。サインの主はキャサリン・カレンダー。事情を聞くべく彼女を探すが彼女は10年前に他界。しかし医療施設で暮らす老齢のベットフォードという男から事の真相を聞くこととなる。 ここから映画はベッドフォードの回想へ。彼と彼の恋人ケート(キャサリン)、科学者カボール3人の月旅行の話が始まる。 月の映画と言えばメリエスの"月世界旅行"の方が知名度は高いし本作のことは知らなかったんだけどたまたま見つけたので借りてみた。 結論から言うと観て良かった。 特撮と初期のショボい合成技術が最高。変な着ぐるみの月の住人セレナイトはキモカワイイ。ウェルズの重力を遮るペーストという発想も自由で楽しい。子供みたいに冒険ものはやはりワクワクしてしまう。 そして、この映画宮崎駿監督インスピレーション受けてるんじゃないかな。て、勝手に思ってしまった。 月の住人の世界の仕組みや原動力、存在する昆虫(王蟲のような)はまるで風の谷のナウシカ。洞窟の中の光る石や重厚で幾何学的な模様の入った扉はラピュタを彷彿させる。この映画に好意を覚えるのは大好きな宮崎駿作品と重ねてしまったからかもしれない

Battling Bruisers: Some Boxing Buffoonery
An opening section of heavy handed humour about boxing styles gives way to a genuine and extraordinary discovery in this silent curio. Cutie Cannaro is the nicest man in boxing: his swishy walk and camp gestures leave no doubt that we're looking at one of the earliest representations of gay men in British cinema. The effeminate seconds in his corner have the unmistakeable air of screaming chorus boys. The kisses they exchange as he enters the ring may be read as French but the cumulative effect of hints on screen reveal a boxing pair who seem more interested in each other than the fight. The rest of the film is a fascinating pastiche of all things Russian, with Brighton Pavilion standing in for Moscow and some daring camera angles.
