Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through.
Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of “the world’s greatest entertainer.”
Starring Oscar and BAFTA–winning Renée Zellweger, BAFTA– nominated Jessie Buckley, Rufus Sewell and Michael Gambon.

This heart-warming comedy drama tells the true WWII story of two members of England’s Army Dental Corps, Sgt. Peter King (Kenneth Cranham), a World War I veteran who wishes to die fighting, and Private Leslie Cuthbertson (Leo Bill), a wet-behind-the-ears trainee.
Dr Don Shirley is a world-class African-American pianist who is about to embark on a concert tour in the Deep South in 1962. In need of a driver and protection, Shirley recruits Tony Lip, a tough-talking bouncer from an Italian-American neighbourhood in the Bronx. Despite their differences, the two men soon develop an unexpected bond while confronting racism and danger in an era of segregation.
