REVIEW OF RECENT EVENTS:

 FILM “THE PICKWICK PAPERS”

One of Ealing Studio’s series of comedies, based

on Charles Dickens’s novel about an eccentric group

of gentlemen in Victorian times, with a fine cast

of British character actors and an amusing sequence

of events and situations that some of the “Pickwick

Club” members get into. Customs and attitudes – and

language - of the period combine to delineate times

and lifestyles that have long vanished, but human

nature hasn’t changed much since. James Hayter made

an amiable Mr Pickwick, with sterling support from

Nigel Patrick, Kathleen Harrison and James Donald

among others. All good clean fun, made possible by

projectionist Paddy Kelly, with a tasty supper by

Eileen Murphy to complete the night’s entertainment.

Our Club is fortunate to have such great helpers.
