Julkaistu:

inter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at The Talk of the Town.

Even her dreams of love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband.

Billy Elliot

Julkaistu:

1984, Northern England. The miners of a small town are on strike and the atmosphere is tense. 11-year-old Billy Elliot’s father and brother are on strike, but Billy has other things in mind. Tired of the school’s brutal boxing training, he becomes interested in the girls’ ballet dance. Soon Billy is already on the parquet practicing standing on his toes. The home crowd is not exactly fond of Billy’s new hobby. However, as the strike only gets worse, Billy continues his training, secretly – with the help of ballet teacher Mrs. Wilkinson. Young Billy has gifts and possibilities are limitless. But will his old family ever accept a boy who squirms in dancing shoes? Directed by Stephen Daldry. In roles e.g. Jamie Bell and Julie Walters.
