To kick off the Kino Quickies season on March 13th 2022, we picked a sure fire crowd pleaser. The Ghost Camera is a comedy / mystery / thriller starring Henry Kendall as John Gray, Ida Lupino as May Elton and John Mills as her brother, Ernest.
When John Gray finds a camera on the back seat of his car, he develops the film to try to find out the owner. What he discovers sets him on the path to danger, adventure and, perhaps, love.
The film was directed by Bernard Vorhaus and edited by a very young David Lean.
Our specially invited expert guest for the post show Q&A was film critic & historian, Pam Hutchinson.
