Movie Star Treatment…


We visited the house, Stowe Maries, in the village that was previously owned by the actor Leslie Howard and we watched an old black and white movie, Pygmalion, that he was in. We watched the film, glass of bubbly in hand, in the actor’s own cinema that is in the garden of his grand house next to the swimming pool. The event was organised by the local history group with the kind permission of the current owners and was a sell out. The film is a classic and it was even more fun to be in the same room as the star, next to his art-deco bar and a couple of feet away from the old projector that he must have used to entertain his glamorous film star guests.
