When Walter Armbruster arrives in Italy to claim his dad's body, it soon becomes apparent that the archetypal patriarch had been leading a double life. Wilder's screenplay sparkles as do the three central characters, so a big thumbs-up for this sadly underrated comic masterpiece.

BRINGING UP BABY (1938)

The kind of light-hearted innocent and yet sophisticated comedy that they just don't make anymore. A flighty young socialite and a crusty zoology professor are thrown together by fate - and a leopard called Baby. Outstanding screwball comedy from the immaculate Hepburn and Grant. find out more...

The collection opens with Len Lye's modernist abstraction ‘Tusalava’, which, heavily influenced by Maori and Aboriginal art, shares an interest in ‘primitive’ cultures that was typical of the Modernist movement of the time. It was almost refused a certificate by the puzzled British Board of Censors who suspected that the dancing abstract shapes might be about sex. Lye's own explanation was that it showed the beginnings of organic life. ‘Crossing the Great Sagrada’, is a lowbrow spoof on travel find out more...

'Carry on Cleo' sends up the eponymous Taylor/Burton epic Cleopatra.

CHARADE (1963)

CertificationPG Our Rating

An all-star cast hunts a fortune reportedly stashed by Hepburn's now dead, thieving husband. Everything about "Charade" sets off what Hepburn and Grant did best, romantic thrillers with some great one liners (watch out for his to her on the boat) and is swept along by Mancini's wonderful score and chic Parisian settings.

The classic science-fiction film that brought us Robbie The Robot. When a space cruiser is sent to investigate the silence from a planet inhabited by scientists, the crew find all but two of the inhabitants, Professor Morbius and his bewitchingly innocent daughter, have died. Morbius has made a discovery and he has no intention of sharing it (or his daughter!) with anyone. Classy kitsch. find out more...
