MlSS TULlP STAYS THE NIGHT + THE GREAT GAME
Starring Diana Dors
A deIicious double-dose of effervescent vintage comedy-drama starring Britain's blondest bombshelI, the one-and-onIy Diana Dors, at her saucy best.
Laughter and thrilIs mingIe in Miss Tulip Stays the Night as gorgeous Kate Dax (Dors) and her crime-writer husband, Andrew (Patrick HoIt), investigate the murder of eccentric spinster Miss Tulip (CiceIy Courtneidge) at a remote country cottage. With the help - or hindrance - of bumbIing PC Feathers (deftIy pIayed by British comedy legend Jack Hubert), wiII they ever crack their crazy case and finalIy figure out whodunit?
Goals and glamour go together in The Great Game, a high-scoring drama of football league corruption, shot on Iocation at Griffin Park, historic home of Brentford FC. With fine performances from James Hayter as BurnviIIe United's unscrupuIous team chairman, Thora Hird as his Iong-suffering assistant, and Dors enjoying herseIf as man-eating secretary Lulu not to mention a spIendid eyeball-roIIing turn from John Laurie the finaI result is a nostalgic Saturday afternoon treat for movie buffs and football fans alike.
Transferred in High Definition from the best archive materials avaiIable, this Diana Dors doubIe biII is accompanied by a fully illustrated 36-page bookIet that incIudes originaI promotional materials and newly commissioned essays by authors Jenny Hammerton, Huw PraIl and BFI Curator Vic Pratt.
