EALING, the home of British film-making, but has had no cinema since 2008.
St Barnabas Church formed the Pitshanger Pictures group to plug this gap, to screen films worth talking about and to provide a community service to people in North Ealing.
On October 25, it hosts a celebration of the town’s cinema history with a double-bill of classics from Ealing Studios.
Ealing Comedy Double Bill will also feature a fish and chip supper at £10/£12.50 with tickets on sale at the door. The event starts at 7pm.
The Man in the White Suit (U), starring Alex Guinness, Joan Greenwood and Cecil Parker, follows a common Ealing Studios theme of the “common man” against the Establishment.
The Ladykillers (PG) is more of a black comedy. Alec Guinness and Cecil Parker are joined by a cast including Peter Sellers and Jack Warner. It tells a story of an unscrupulous gang of hardened criminals plotting a daring robbery from the house of an unsuspicious old lady with a parrot.
The show will take place at the Millennium Hall, attached to St Barnabas Church, Pitshanger Lane (on the corner with Denison Road).
