August 05, 2020 12 Angry Men 1957 Movie Club Selection For August
A first glimpse at the tense drama 12 Angry Men. The book, by Reginald Rose, was first published in 1954 and he went on to write the first TV screenplay. Henry Fonda was keen to produce and star in it, managing to bring it to the silver screen under the brilliant direction of Sydney Lumet in 1957. It went on to be nominated for 4 Academy awards, I guarantee this classic, powerful movie will not disappoint!

July 24, 2020 The Parasites By Daphne Du Maurier, Book Selection For August
Our first vintage book club selection is The Parasites by Daphne Du Maurier. From it's explosive opening this wonderful book takes you on an intriguing journey, however it wasn't the book itself that first attracted me to read it! It was the story behind its creation, the setting where Daphene Du Maurier wrote it! The gatehouse of the grand old estate Menabilly on the dramatic Cornwell Coast.
