Fans of George Cole (Arthur Daley) may enjoy this BCCT event
One of Britain’s best-loved comedy and dramatic actors, George Cole, passed away at the age of 90 several weeks ago. His most recognisable character was the cockney ‘spiv’ Arthur Daley in ten series of Minder in the 80s and 90s. Tonight we are showing the rarely seen film version ‘Minder on the Orient Express’ first screened in UK on Christmas Day 1985. Supported by his ‘Minder’ Terry McCann played by Dennis Waterman, Arthur is chased across Europe by numerous villains and his arch nemeses Detective Sergeants cheerful ‘Charlie’ Chisholm and Ronnie Rycott.
But first we present one of Cole’s early films, The Belles of St Trinian’s, a comedy film set in the fictional St Trinian's School, released in 1954. Headmistress Millicent Fritton (Alastair Sim) has an unorthodox teaching philosophy, letting her students run wild. Cole plays cockney spiv Flash Harry, a former school employee, who is behind numerous nefarious schemes at the school. Flash Harry provided the genesis of the Arthur Daley character.
