#PETERCUSHING #ALEXANDER MEMNON GETS A COSTUME #TWEEK ON SET IN 1956 #SPAIN

A RARE and #GREAT on set photograph of #PeterCushing being attended to by uncredited wardrobe assistant, Pat Hitchcock during the making of 'Alexander the Great' (1956). It's a film for which neither the impressive cast, star #RichardBurton, Peter Cushing or Clare Bloom gets much loving. . . .

BUT look at those thighs, Cushing was every inch a General Memnon, to be reckoned with. Peter's wife, Helen came along on location in Spain and PC armed himself off camera as well as on, with his watercolour kit, for dull days, of which sadly, there appears to have been quite a few.... - Marcus

NEWS: FIRST GLIMPSE IN TEASER CLIP FROM #BFI REMASTERED BBC '1984' BLU RAY

NEWS: A short clip of #PeterCushing's BBC production of George Orwell's '1984' REMASTERED.. and looking quite amazing! A fabulous clean up and crystal quality of picture, we have been waiting for, for many a year, can be seen at the Facebook PCASuk Fan Page. Well Done, #BFI and all concerned! The Blu Ray and dvd release is 11th April 2022. Pre Orders can be made now at the BFI website HERE!!

 

George Orwell’s enduring dystopian masterpiece is brought vividly to life in this celebrated BBC production. Adapted by Nigel Kneale (The Quatermass Experiment), Nineteen Eighty-Four broke new ground for television drama when first broadcast in 1954. Featuring a stunning central performance from Peter Cushing (The Curse of Frankenstein, #StarWars) as the doomed #WinstonSmith, this small-screen landmark has been newly restored by the BFI using original film materials from the #BBC Archive and the BFI National Archive.

 

Experience Orwell’s haunting vision of a society dominated by relentless tyranny and the subversion of truth – a world in which Big Brother is always watching you.
