THE WITNESS FOR THE PROSE- CUTION is set in 1920's London following the brutal murder of the glamorous Emily French (Kim Cattrall) that shocked the neighbourhood. All evidence points to Leonard Vole (Billy Howle), a young man who just happens to have been left the heiress's enormous fortune.
But Leonard, 
despite the claims of Emily's housekeeper Janet (Monica Dolan), is adamant that he is innocent and turns to his chorus girl partner Romaine (Riseborough) to help him prove it. Toby Jones will play Leonard's solicitor, John Mayhew, while David Haig will be King's Counsel, Sir Charles Carter.

ReplyDeleteshould be a great Oscar contender, methinks
DeleteI think I will love Hidden Figures. I didn't know about these amazing women and it's about time their story was told. Also it will be nice to see something positive and uplifting. The political climate here is so wretched and depressing.
ReplyDeleteeven more depressing here, dear, as we see no future whatsoever, ever ever
DeleteI so agree with Anne. Hidden Figures should be an amazing movie.
ReplyDeletewrite it down in your calendar!
DeleteHidden Figures trailer is wonderful. January 2017! Okay I'm sorry but the picture of that guy from Witness for the Prosecution makes him look guilty as sin. If that guy called out to me with that look on his face, I'd keep walking. Run if he tries to follow me. That expression looks like a guy who buried his mother in his back yard with his roses. *shudders* *shudders again*
ReplyDeletesadly, Billikins does not have a lot of photoshoots I could use for the post :( he's a nice, innocent looking chap otherwise :)
DeleteI am looking forward to Hidden Figures. It looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. :)
