Director: David Lean ● Starring: Katherine Hepburn, Rossano Brazzi, Isa Miranda, (and Venice)
The 2015 Heritage Festival will highlight Croydon’s famous people, so it's the perfect opportunity to celebrate our connection with our Cinema’s name sake David Lean, born in South Croydon in 1908. Summer madness is Lean’s third colour film, and his personal favourite that he directed. It tells the story of Jane (Hepburn), a spirited but lonely American who finds romance when she meets Renato (Brazzi) during a holiday in Venice. These will also be the Campaign’s first screenings in 35mm; the iconic but now rarely-seen medium that’s inextricably linked to our cinematic heritage.
With two showings at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
