Join us on Saturday, March 30, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. EST for The Smallest Show on Earth (1957), directed by Basil Dearden, starring Virginia McKenna, Bill Travers, Margaret Rutherford, Peter Sellers, Sidney James.

In today’s era of movie multiplexes, this wonderful gem from Britain’s golden age of comedy takes us back to the days of the neighbourhood cinema. When a young couple inherits a small, run-down movie house (in a railroad whistle stop no less) they must deal with its eccentric yet endearing employees, all while struggling to keep the business afloat. With sparkling, Ealing-esque humour and heartwarming sentiment throughout, it’s the ideal tonic for lovers of film and vintage British comedy alike. And keep an eye out for Peter Sellers in one of his early roles!

There is no charge for this screening, but we are suggesting a donation of $10 to help cover ongoing costs

    I was unable to watch the March 26 presentation. On Saturday I received emails inviting me to log in but everything I tried failed. “Not Available”.

    You may keep the $20 I donated. My gift.
