The next film night at the Sunningwell Village Hall will be on Saturday 11 October, when we will be showing The Court Jester, the 1955 American musical comedy film starring Danny Kaye, Basil Rathbone and Angela Lansbury. The film centres on Hubert Hawkins, a carnival entertainer. He is a member of the Black Fox’s band of rebels (a parody of Robin Hood and his Merry Men) who are protecting the true infant King of Medieval England from a usurper. Events cause Hawkins to take the identity of an apparent court jester, who is actually an assassin, so he can spy in the usurping King’s castle, where there are many people who wish to make use of the Jester for their own villainous ends. .
Entrance is by voluntary donation and all proceeds will go to St Leonard’s Church, Sunningwell. Doors open at 7pm and the film starts 7:30pm.
