Screened two British films that couldn't be more different on 16mm the first,"CALLAN" with Edward Woodward offers a tale of a no nonsense hitman working for the secret service setting out to eliminate a dangerous arms dealer and falling out with his employers on the way.A far cry from the adventures of James Bond Callan is the original working class hero who does not suffer fools gladly.Based on the popular TV series,Woodward doesn't play Callan,he is Callan.Slight fade on print,but okay. The second film screened was the very sad tale of "The Ragmans Daughter",based on the Alan Sillitoe story, It stars the lovely Victoria Tennant and Brian Murphy as our "heroes" dad.Telling the tale of a young girl who lives life in the fast lane with a young thief, before tragedy strikes for all concerned,the tale is told in flashback and is from the young rogues point of view,now a grown man looking back on a wasted life and his lost love.Heartbreakingly sad, but a lovely print.
