Published Date: 09 April 2009
ON Monday April 20, at the Playhouse Cinema, Louth Film Club will show a double bill of classic films with a railway theme: Brief Encounter, in a new release, and Night Mail.
In Brief Encounter, directed by David Lean in 1945, Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson star as a doctor and housewife who meet at a railway station and fall in love, but know they can't sustain their passionate yet chaste relationship.

Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto and assorted steam trains play supporting roles.

You may have seen it on TV, perhaps several times, but you won't regret seeing this new 35mm print on the big screen.

It will be introduced by BBC Radio Lincolnshire's film reviewer Sudip Bhaduri, a great fan of the film.

Night Mail is a brilliant 25 minute documentary, made by the GPO Film Unit in 1936, about the London to Glasgow overnight mail train.

It includes a celebrated sequence featuring a WH Auden poem ('This is the Night Mail crossing the border, bringing the cheque and the postal order...') with music by Benjamin Britten.

Brief Encounter is Certificate PG, Night Mail Certificate U. The show starts at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £3 for members and normal cinema prices (£5 or £4 concessions) for non-members.

Louth Film Club programmes and membership details can be picked up at Off The Beaten Tracks record shop in Aswell Street, Louth (tel: 01507 607677, closed on Thursdays) or at the Playhouse Cinema.
