Just back from the movies again......this is a great time of year for good movies! What a heart-warming, beautiful, moving story Quartet is with quirky humour and endearing personalities. Thoroughly enjoyed it. It tells the story of oldies who all still have a bit of get up and go growing old gracefully in a retirement home for the 'musically gifted'. What a great idea, retirement homes for specific occupations or hobbies where everyone has something in common - way forward or what! Fabulous cast of 'older' actors who can actually act - Tom Courtenay (OMG he is so like our neighbour Jean Francois), Maggie Smith, Pauline Collins and Billy Connolly were all excellent, especially Mr. Connolly with his usual 'Scottish' sense of humour. There were too many well known faces to mention them all, what a cast list and just a lovely, uplifting story. When Maggie Smith said to Tom Courtenay ' Fuck You!', the man in front of me almost fell off his seat with disgust, it was hilarious, not that we condone bad language.......
