| Three old films to watch this weekend | | |
| Cairo Station | | Netflix isn’t swimming in pre-1980s films but it does have this belting 1958 thriller about a killer on the loose in Cairo train station. It’s Egypt’s answer to Hitchcock – with added social commentary about haves and have-nots. |
| | Mrs Miniver | | Hollywood’s finest flocked to Blighty during the war years to capture a Blitz-stricken land sticking two fingers up to Adolf. William Wyler’s Best Picture winner transcends mere propaganda to offer a totes emosh portrayal of a family at war. |
| | The Velvet Touch | | The luminous Rosalind Russell stars in this ’40s noir. She’s a Broadway star who falls out with her producer: he wants her to do a comedy; she wants to be in ‘Hedda Gabler’. He meets a sticky end. Don’t mess with the art, dahling. |

| Amazing art to look forward to
in 2021 | | | | Here’s the thing: this year could be amazing. Genuinely. There are all sorts of reasons (beyond the obvious vaccine-y one) to look forward to the next twelve months. Why not start with these nine stupendous London art shows, all scheduled to go ahead once the coast is Covid clear? Yes, this includes Yayoi Kusama, of whom you lot cannot seem to get enough. |

Simpler times.’

Topshop after work to spend my wages!’
