FILM / EVENT DETAIL

The Graduate (1967) - Charity Show in aid of Holland Sports Club

Welcome to our third Wednesday Night Charity Season of films where ALL your ticket money goes towards rebuilding Holland Sports Club which is situated in the heart of the village of Barton under Needwood. We are hoping to raise £15,000 for the project by showing a classic film once a month, on a Wednesday evening and donating all the ticket money. Unusually, I’m asking for you to pay when you book your seat so I can hand it over immediately as soon as it comes in. The ticket money is non-refundable.

At the beginning of every film Jodie and I will keep you up to date with how much money has been raised and what is happening with the project. We’re expecting a great atmosphere as this is really important for the village and loads of people are involved. We may even have guest speakers!

So maybe you could open your diary and put these dates in and come and along and support us. They are all booking right now and what a combination of fantastic films they are. Whilst I’m thrilled to be a part of this fund-raising endeavour, The Red Carpet will have a lot of cost associated with staffing, hosting and preparing for this event so if you can afford to buy a drink or book a meal beforehand it’s very much appreciated but not necessary.

Here’s the fantastic line up...

Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished college and is already lost in a sea of confusion as he wonders what to do with his life. He returns to his parents’ luxurious Beverly Hills home, where he idles away the summer floating in the pool and brooding in silence. He is rescued from the boredom when he is seduced into a clandestine affair with a middle-aged married friend of his parents, Mrs Robinson (Anne Bancroft). That liaison is soon complicated by Benjamin’s infatuation with her college-age daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross). Visually imaginative and impeccably acted, with a witty, endlessly quotable script by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry (based on the novel by Charles Webb), with a supporting cast that includes William Daniels, Murray Hamilton, Walter Brooke and Elizabeth Wilson, THE GRADUATE had the kind of cultural impact that comes along only once in a generation.
