The Smallest Show on Earth
U

Mon 15 Sep · 14:30
As part of Heritage Open Days, we are celebrating the history and power of film with this Ealing-esque comedy about running and restoring an old cinema,
Comedy • Charming • British
Part of Memory Matinees
Part of Heritage Is Open

A struggling London novelist and his wife inherit a cinema in a long-lost relative's will. Upon arriving in provincial 'Sloughborough', the imagine this means the town's regal Grand cinema. In fact they've accrued local, debt-ridden, rat ridden flea pit The Bijou - its marquee letters vibrating to passing trains - and it's three squabbling staff.

Naturally the plucky out-of-towners opt to renovate, with the help of eccentric scene-stealers Peter Sellers and Margaret Rutherford
