Don't miss AVA: THE SECRET CONVERSATIONS playing at the Riverside Studios theatre 1 Feb- 16 April.

“One of the biggest home-grown hits of 1951, this audacious romantic fantasy is a testament to the eccentricity of its Harvard-educated writer-director Albert Lewin and the megawattage of then rising star Ava Gardner.”- The Times ★★★★

The timeless romance based on the legend of the Flying Dutchman. At a Costa Brava port in the 1930s, singer Pandora (Ava Gardner) meets the dashing but doomed yachtsman Captain Hendrik van der Zee (James Mason), who falls under the spell, and pushes her to commit an ultimate act of love. This delirious, gorgeous romantic drama (shot by Jack Cardiff) reveals Lewin to be one of mid-century cinema's greatest stylists.
