Toronto Film Society  will begin its 2012 summer film series on Monday, July 9, with Another British Invasion. For the next seven weeks, Monday nights at the Carlton Cinema will be held captive by a pair of British Films. The first week belongs to the double bill of  Sixty Glorious Years  and  Folly to Be Wise.

Sixty Glorious Years  is the 1938 historical drama of the sixty year reign of Queen Victoria (Anna Neagle), focusing on her relationship with her husband, Prince Albert (Anton Walbrook). Folly to Be Wise (1953) follows a newly arrived army chaplain,  Alastair Sim, and the trials he faces mounting a variety show for the troops. The film was based on James Bridie’s  play “It Depends What You Mean“ and earned Sim a BAFTA nomination for best actor.

The first programme of Toronto Film Society’s Another British Invasion summer film series screens Monday, July 9, 2012 at the Carlton Cinema. Each programme screens at 7:30 pm, every Monday until August 27, 2012. Visit the Toronto Film Society website for scheduling and ticket information.

Daniel is a graduate of the University of Guelph’s theatre studies program. Having performed Shakespeare in drag once, Daniel attempts to sound unique and mysteriously cool when speaking with woman in bars. He then proceeds to take over the dance floor, performing a rendition of Thom Yorke’s dancing in Radiohead’s Lotus Flower video as performed by a geriatric. Who is suffering. A lot apparently. He is also allergic to cats, the villainous harbingers of apocalypse and the odour of kitty litter – which is a stupid name for a toilet.
