DOWN YOUR WAY - HAYLE

Column for July 21 2016

HAYLE PENWITH U3A:

Hayle U3A has the following programme this week.  Today, Thursday July 21, at 10am there is History and Writing; then at 2pm the Social Event "John Knill of St Ives Commemoration" takes place with Alan and Ann Cox. On Tuesday July 26 at 10am there is Art and at 2pm Poetry Reading.

HAYLE FILM CLUB:

Hail, Caesar! Thursday July 21 at 7.30pm.

The final film this summer is the Coen Brothers' skit on the larger than life films and egos of Golden Age Hollywood. You live a day in the life of Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin), a real-life ‘fixer' who used his contacts to cover up almost anything. First Baird Whitlock (a boozy mash up of Kirk Douglas and Clark Gable played by George Clooney), star of the biblical epic Hail Caesar, is kidnapped. Then Scarlett Johansson's DeeAnna Morgan, an Esther Williams-style starlet, announces she's pregnant with no ring on her finger. Mannix has to sort out these major headaches, and a host of smaller ones, using only the performers at his disposal and hounded all the way by twin journalists played by Tilda Swinton. (106 mins, 12A)

As ever, at the Passmore Edwards Institute, house lights down at 7.30pm. Tickets at £5/£4 for members, reserve on 01736 752319, or book online at www.haylefilmclub.org.uk
