Blonde newcomer Betty Elms has just arrived in Hollywood, full of hope and dreams of becoming a movie star. Her plans take an unexpected turn when she meets a mysterious brunette suffering from amnesia.

★★★★★
Danny Leigh, The FT

‘It is an explosively sexy love story, rocket-fuelled with vanity and cruelty.’
★★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
