Bodas de oro

For those of you who wish you can now view a digital copy at the BF I mediatheque on the South Bank.

It is based on a stage play typical of the era. A family getting together,the Octopus,for some reason,here a golden wedding celebration.

All the occupants of the house speak in home counties accents whilst the villagers have regional accents

All they ever do in the house is talk and talk to a very static camera.

A very strong cast is unable to bring the material to life. No wonder this is one of the few Margaret Lockwood films that has not,to the best of my k knowledge been shown on tv or issued on DVD.
