Biggar Little Cinema The Community Cinema at the Corn Exchange |
|
As we are sure you know, The Corn Exchange remains closed because of the ongoing Covid-19 situation. The Trustees will be responding to Government advice as it develops, but it is expected that the closure will be for a considerable time yet. Biggar Little Cinema would like to thank all our supporters for their patience and understanding during these unusual and difficult times. We await further news about the closure of The Corn Exchange, and we trust that we may be able to safely show films at some time later this year. Movie Trivia Readers of our Facebook page will know that we have been running an occasional series featuring movie trivia which we hope bring a little light relief. Here’s another addition to our collection of strange movie facts. In the iconic Casablanca (shown at Biggar Little Cinema in April 2018), Dooley Wilson, the actor who played Sam, became famous as the piano player at Rick's 'Café Américain'. Wilson was an experienced musician and bandleader — but not in fact a piano player. He was a drummer and singer, and mimed the piano playing for the classic 'As Time Goes By' and for all other songs in the film. The piano music for his performances was played off-screen and dubbed in later.
