The Smallest Show On Earth
1957
Two film enthusiasts inherit a tiny, rundown provincial cinema and struggle to save it from closure in the face of television's rise, relying on an ancient projector and a pair of eccentric employees. A gentle Ealing-style British comedy starring Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna.
