Thanks to STX ENTERTAINMENT, I have two wonderful prizes for Vintage Powder Room readers.
FIRST PRIZE: Two pairs of tickets to see an advance screening of the movie THEIR FINEST, on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 –AND—a copy of the book by Lissa Evans that inspired the film!
SECOND PRIZE: One pair of tickets to see an advance screening of the movie THEIR FINEST, on Wednesday, April 5, 2017!
About THEIR FINEST: With London emptied of its men now fighting at the Front, Catrin Cole (Gemma Arterton) is hired by the British Ministry as a “slop” scriptwriter charged with bringing “a woman’s touch” to morale-boosting propaganda films. Her natural flair quickly gets her noticed by dashing movie producer Buckley (Sam Claflin) whose path would never have crossed hers in peacetime. As bombs are dropping all around them, Catrin, Buckley and a colorful crew work furiously to make a film that will warm the hearts of the nation. Although Catrin’s artist husband looks down on her job, she quickly discovers there is as much camaraderie, laughter and passion behind the camera as there is onscreen.
