Following her appearance in wordfest, Cambridge Film Trust is delighted to welcome local author Nicola Upson to present this special screening at the Arts Picturehouse.
27 April 2.30pm
Young and Innocent (U)
Director: Alfred Hitchcock. Starring: Nova Pilbeam, Derrick de Marney, Edward Rigby. UK 1937. 80mins
As well as being an important film in his own career, Hitchcock’s Young and Innocent is notable for bringing to the screen A Shilling for Candles - the first novel to appear under the name Josephine Tey. With books including The Franchise
Affair and The Daughter of Time, Tey became one of the most original and innovative crime writers of the 1940s and early 1950s - as influential in her medium as Hitchcock was in his. Now, she has been brought to life in a new detective novel, An Expert in Murder, and its author, Nicola Upson, will introduce the film and, after the screening, discuss Tey and her work with BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s Mandy Morton.
