The next Movie Club Meeting is scheduled for TUESDAY OCTOBER 8 2024 at 1:30pm in the Senior Lounge of the Ridgewood Village Hall.
​
This month we will see 3 short humorous plays by Noel Coward, filmed for TV and performed by Joan Collins and her acting company.
In “Hands Across the Sea” a flighty socialite has the unfortunate habit of giving invitations and then forgetting about them. Add to this her inability to recognize two of her invitees, and soon you have a roomful of people talking at crossed purposes, most of whom have no idea of what is going on.
​
“Ways and Means” depicts a couple visiting the Riviera who have lost their money at the gambling tables and are about to be kicked out of their hotel. In their desperation they devise a clever but quite illegal way to solve their problem.
​
Finally, “Family Album” shows us 5 siblings reminiscing after the funeral of their father. Much madeira is consumed, loosening the tongue of one of them, who injects a dose of reality into their mourning and reveals a potentially devastating secret.

Terence Rarttigan was of the opinion that “Hands Across the Sea” was the funniest short play ever written.
