Wednesday 17th Dec @ 8pm in Cafe Amsterdam Cafe Amsterdam will be showing the 1946 Christmas classic, 'It's a Wonderful Life'. This is a great film for all the family (U). We will also give a free glass of Hot Spiced Wine to all viewers to get then in the Christmas Mood. Why not organise your friends and make a Christmas Evening of it? This is the only way to prepare for Christmas. Wikipedia have written a synopsis below. The film takes place in the fictional town of Bedford Falls shortly after World War II and stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve gains the attention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers) who is sent to help him in his hour of need. Much of the film is told through flashbacks spanning George's entire life and narrated by Franklin and Joseph, unseen Angels who are preparing Clarence for his mission to save George. Through these flashbacks we see all the people whose lives have been touched by George and the difference he has made to the community in which he lives. It's a Wonderful Life was nominated for five Oscars without winning any, but the film has since been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made, and placed number one on their list of the most inspirational American films of all time. Next week is Christmas Eve and we will be having a party with live music and special Christmas offers. So keep the date free and come and join a night of festive cheer for all the family. Wednesday 24th December 8pm until very late. |
