- Synopsis:
Forty-year-old Arnie Cole (Bob Hoskins) is a movie pioneer, showing films in makeshift cinemas during the first quarter of the twentieth century - a long way ahead of the golden age that will be more glittering than his wildest dreams. But opportunities are opening up all the time, and Arnie's true ambition is to produce films of his own. Financial backing is, inevitably, the stumbling block. But it comes his way in unexpected form when he is introduced to Maud (Frances de la Tour), the snobbish, rather plain sister of a well-to-do acquaintance; at first, Maud finds Arnie brash and vulgar, and he is equally unimpressed with her - but having discovered that she is pregnant, she makes him an offer that he finds hard to refuse... - Actors:
