Concert promoter Micky O'Neill (Adrian Dunbar) tries to revive a London theater club by booking "Mr. X," a Josef Locke impostor. When the sell-out crowd discovers the truth, he loses not only the club, but his sweetheart. In order to win her and his credibility back, he must lure the real Josef Locke (Ned Beatty) out of exile and onto the stage. This film was an enormous favourite when released with crowds and critics alike. The gorgeous photography in the hills and valleys, the fabulously sleazy acting by Dunbar, the joyous chicanery of Beatty, and a wonderful soundtrack, are all equally unforgettable.

1988
It was the sporting equivalent of conquering Everest: running a mile in under four minutes. A feat long thought impossible, in 1954 two supremely gifted athletes emerged as frontrunners to break the milestone: England’s Roger Bannister and Australia’s John Landy. Though Bannister will be remembered as the first man to break the mile, this thrilling mini-series (brilliantly scripted by David Williamson - The Club, Don’s Party) continues the action to the 1954 Empire Games when Landy and Bannister have their first head-to-head clash in the so-called ‘race of the century’ - for Landy, winning the race in a record time would establish him as the greatest runner of his generation. The Four...
