Duke

Jim Broadbent excels in true tale of ​art-stealing pensioner

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver, stole Goya's portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. He sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly.

What happened next became the stuff of legend.

An uplifting true story about a good man who set out to change the world and managed to save his marriage.

It’s a delightful, gentle British comedy, and it stars Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren. What more could you ask for?

Films are shown in Buriton Village Hall near Petersfield.

Doors open at 7pm and films start at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £5 on the door – having the exact money is very helpful.
