"Sandy Wilson’s 1953 stage musical The Boy Friend paid homage to the frothy early days of musical theater, and Ken Russell’s stylish film version brought his own distinctively eccentric vision to the material. Iconic fashion model Twiggy made a charming ingenue in her first leading film role, supported by a droll cast including Broadway legend Tommy Tune and an uncredited appearance by Oscar winner Glenda Jackson".
There will be an Introduction by Daniel Orlandi, Costume Designer, and the Academy Governor.
