Capital Celluloid 2026 — Day 131: Mon May 11

Songwriter (Rudolph, 1984): Prince Charles Cinema, 6.10pm


This film is only £1 for Prince Charles Cinema members.

Time Out review:
Unexpectedly, at three days' notice, Alan Rudolph was asked by producer Sydney Pollack to take the helm on this carefree comedy set in the world of Country & Western music. The result was Rudolph's fastest paced and most uninhibited film to date: a quirky, rambling tale of two star performers on the road. Incorporating songs specially written by Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson, the film indulges their male-bonding, hard-drinking, womanising life style, as well as giving Lesley Ann Warren her own shot at performing (not bad). A likeable shaggy dog of a movie, assuming the music's to your taste.
