About this event
‘Get Aboard’
The great Fred Astaire gets to strut his stuff as Tony Martin, an out-of-favour singing and dancing movie star. When best friends Lily and Lester Marton offer Tony the leading role in their latest Broadway musical, he jumps at the chance.
The show's director, from the artistic theatrical world, has very different ideas for the comedy storyline, and also casts a classical ballerina (Cyd Charisse) to play opposite Tony. The new ideas don't seem to work, but Tony takes charge and puts everything back on track – as well as falling for his co-star.
Relaxed viewing films are open to everyone, but the softer lighting and relaxed layout make them particularly suitable for people with memory loss or dementia.
