Celebrating bringing films to Stafford for over 70 years

We really appreciate the support you all give the Film Theatre, and thank you for your understanding during our period of closure. Please help us to create as safe and comfortable an environment as we can. Further details are available from: Suzan Kerridge membershipSFT@outlook.com or 01785 280566

in the Gatehouse Theatre, Eastgate Street, Stafford.
The Duke
|
Tuesday The Duke Director : Roger Michell Running Time: 96 Mins Country/Year:
|
A delightful true-crime caper with a terrific lead performance from Jim Broadbent as Newcastle taxi driver, Kempton Bunton who stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in 1961 and sent ransom notes demanding more government investment in care for the elderly. Despite his lies and half-truths at the time, we now see Bunton as essentially a good person determined to change the world and save his marriage. How and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale, featuring co-star Helen Mirren as his very long-suffering wife. “What a lovely, rousing, finally moving film this is” Xan Brooks, The Guardian
