Lerryn Film Club: Mr Burton


The next members' film is on Thursday 22nd November, with a screening  of Mr Burton.

Mr. Burton tells the true story of the relationship between Port Talbot schoolmaster Philip Burton and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins, the son of a wayward drunk.

Richard dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline. Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father. 

Doors open at 6.30pm for a chat Screening at 7.00pm  Followed by a post-movie discussion
