The next Library Film Club showing is A Dog’s Way Home, an American-made family tear jerker based on W Bruce Cameron’s best-selling novel of the same name.

It tells the story of rescue pup Bella and her adventures as she embarks on a journey of over 400 miles through the wilds of New Mexico and Colorado to find the owner who rescued her from abandonment on a demolition site.

Along the way she meets an assortment of lovable characters, enriching the lives of each of them.

The next Film Club showing at the Library is Fisherman’s Friends, another warm and witty British film, this time telling how a group of Cornish fishermen came to achieve a top-ten hit with an album of traditional sea shanties.

Loosely based on real-life events and filmed in picturesque Port Isaac on the north Cornish coast, Daniel Mays plays a cynical London music executive who reluctantly heads for Cornwall for a stag weekend with a challenge from his boss to sign to their record label a group of shanty-singing fishermen.

Gradually, he finds himself being drawn into the local community as he begins to learn the meaning of loyalty, love and friendship. Also starring are James Purefoy and Tuppence Middleton

LAUREL AND HARDY, the world’s greatest comedy team in their day, face an uncertain future with their golden era of Hollywood films long behind them.

Diminished by age, the duo set out to reconnect with their adoring fans by touring variety halls in Britain in 1953.

After a faltering start, the shows become hugely popular, but Stan and Ollie can’t quite shake the past as long-buried tensions and Hardy’s failing health start to threaten their precious partnership.

With Steve Coogan as Stan Laurel and John C Reilly as Oliver Hardy, the duo’s nostalgic story is beautifully filmed and told, their comic genius shining through despite their declining years.

‘Not to be missed’ is an overworked phrase in the movie publicity world, but in this instance the description is fully justified.

As always, Film Club screenings are strictly for Library members only. There is no entrance fee, though we do charge for refreshments including ice creams, served during the interval..
