WHEN ACTORS, in particular Peter Cushing... talked about the skill of stillness and concentration, with a crew of some dozen or more people looking on, is it any wonder, they didn't want people in their eyeline or distractions... When the floor manager says 'Still and Quiet Please' , he really does mean it!

CHRISTOPHER LEE AND THE ANGELS FROM NOTTING HILL 2015

OVER AT THEFacebook PCASUK Fan Page today we have shared, a post about the final film that Christopher Lee took part in, before his passing on June 7, 2015 at the age of 93, 'Angels From Notting Hill'. Directed by Michael Pakleppa, it's a comedy about an angel trapped in London who falls in love with a human being. Lee plays The Boss / Mr President. 'Angels from Notting Hill' premiered in the Regent Street Cinema, London on Saturday 29th, October 2016. Comments on this film, if you have had the opportunity to see the film at the premier or at your local cinema, it would be appreciated

  .

 

'ANGELS IN NOTTING HILL' is an urban fairy tale about men and angels and the hidden little angel within all of us - full of magic, gentle humour and warmth. A funny philosophic, poetic fantasy about heaven and hell in modern everyday life.
