QUEEN OF HEARTS UK 1989, Dir Jon Amiel, Scr Tony Grisoni, 107 mins PG

An Italian couple marry for love. Four children later, they are running a café in London's Italian Quarter. QUEEN OF HEARTS was critically acclaimed on release and became a cult hit in the US, but is now rarely seen. It brought together a remarkable filmmaking team at the start of their careers including screenwriter Tony Grisoni and Jon Amiel (The Singing Detective). The film also featured a wonderful cast of veteran actors (Vittorio Duse, Eileen Way) and new talent, including many extras from London's Italian community.

'Queen of Hearts'' relies on Eddie's deliciously funny and disarming perspective, which suggests the way family stories become larger, more legendary and more emotionally powerful with each telling" New York Times

"A magnificent film about a boy's childhood, and one of the most magical movies ever made" Sunday Telegraph
