Sarah Doo-Wop Dos and Maximo Learn present a film screening with a difference. The 1946 romantic classic…
A Matter of Life and Death
Guests will be transported back to the 1940s for this special screening with a pre-film drinks
soiree and a cold supper inspired by the film. All set in themed surroundings.
1940s Civilian clothing is encouraged but not compulsory
Squadron Leader Peter Carter (David Niven) is a Royal Air Force pilot trying to fly a badly
damaged and burning Lancaster bomber home after a mission over Germany during WWII.
He orders his crew to bail out, without revealing that his own parachute has been shot up, before jumping out without a parachute to take his chances. Peter should have died at that point but he cheats death and survives.
When the afterlife ‘conductors’ finally catch up with him, he must argue for his life before a
celestial court.
