TCC FILM CLUB NEWS
Dear Film Goers,
Our next film night is on Friday 7th November 2025 doors open from 7pm, screening 7.30pm.
Please note we do not have allocated seating.
This month’s film is A BUNCH OF AMATEURS
A BUNCH OF AMATEURS
A washed up Hollywood star is flown to England to play the title role in King Lear at “Stratford” believing he will be appearing onstage at the legendary RST in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Instead he finds he has signed on with the “Stratford Players” in the Suffolk village of Stratford St. John. He goes to the United Kingdom with his career deteriorating and having problems with his daughter who is an aspiring actress on the fringes of the New York theatre. The local villagers are somewhat of a motley crew and are naturally delighted to have such an – albeit unsuccessful – star playing with them. Reynolds plays a typically selfish American with no time for manners, and displays an appalling lack of class, considering himself too big for this lowly setting. The transition to humble actor, happy to play with the British actors takes some time, but eventually he is reconciled with his estranged daughter and realises that he is no better, in terms of talent and intelligence, than his amateur colleagues.
Run time approx. 1 hour 36 minutes

SOUND & PROJECTOR SYSTEMS
A New Sound System was installed just before the screening of the June films in 2017. This system is a Surround Sound environment suitable for Dolby 5.1 recordings, and the verdict by regular film club members – ” It is a big improvement I could hear every word!”
A new high resolution projector has now been installed and has significantly improved the cinematic experience using Blu-Ray Recordings
HEARING LOOP
A new hearing loop was installed in April 2015 to improve both audio and visual experience whilst watching films
