Linda and I had never been inside this historic venue before and we were both very pleasantly surprised how comfortable and well laid-out the complex is. There's a decent little bar for pre-show drinks, excellent seating and ease of access.
The film was more or less how I remembered it from seeing it in the cinema back in the fifties and countless times on TV - I'm still mildly irritated by the clips of Mosquitos allegedly testing 'full sized upkeeps' - but the stirring music, tight direction and superb acting makes this, IMHO, one of the finest British films ever made.
Despite the initial problems with the satellite links from the Albert Hall preventing us hearing most of the Glenn Miller Band's offerings, it was a terrific evening...
