as you know dates always change. They are planning to have a screening of the
film on the 21st of May, they have invited me to attend and to do a Q&A after
the screening, they would love to have Richard Lester to attend - so would I -
but that is under dicussion, I will let you know if he agrees, fingers crossed.
He has such a huge following and the audience would love to have the opportunity
of a Q&A with him. I think the film is very relevant to today and was way ahead
of it's time. - Love, Rita"
