Adelphi Diana Dors Double Bill: Miss Tulip Stays the Night / The Great Game
A delicious double-dose of effervescent vintage comedy-drama starring Britain's blondest bombshell, the one - and only - Diana Dors, at her saucy best.
Miss Tulip Stays the Night
Director: Leslie Arliss
Laughter and thrills mingle in Miss Tulip Stays the Night as gorgeous Kate Dax (Dors) and her crime-writer husband, Andrew (Patrick Holt), investigate the murder of eccentric spinster Miss Tulip (Cicely Courtneidge) at a remote country cottage. With the help - or hindrance - of bumbling P.C. Feathers (deftly played by British comedy legend Jack Hulbert), will they ever crack their crazy case and finally figure out whodunit?
The Great Game
Director: Maurice Elvey
Goals and glamour go together in The Great Game, a high-scoring drama of football league corruption, shot on location at Griffin Park, a historic home of Brentford F.C. With fine performances from James Hayter as Burnville United's unscrupulous team chairman, Thora Hird as his long-suffering assistant, and Dors enjoying herself as man-eating secretary Lulu - not to mention the splendid eyeball-rolling turn from John Laurie - the final result is a nostalgic Saturday afternoon treat for movie buffs and football fans alike.
Extras
- A fully illustrated booklet with film notes, credits and biographies
