WOMEN HE’S UNDRESSED……FILM OF THE WEEK
Australia | 100 minutes | Documentary

Oscar-winning Orry Kelly was a Hollywood legend, his costume designs adored by cinema’s greatest leading ladies – but in his home country of Australia his achievements remained unknown…until now.
Great to recognise a man who’s costumes created some of cinema’s most magical moments. Can’t wait to see this.

The classic 60’s TV series gets the Guy Ritchie treatment. CIA agent Napoleon Solo and KGB agent Illya Kuryakin are forced to team up to stop a mysterious international criminal irgani

Having thought that monogamy was never possible, a commitment-phobic career woman may have to face her fears when she meets a good guy.
