Town Hall Pop-up: Breaking Away (45th Anniversary)

Shown as part of Community Bike Ride Day

Please Note: This screening will take place a Saffron Walden Town Hall and not at Saffron Screen.

This charming, Academy Award winner (1979, Screenplay) cycles high on comedy as four friends come to terms with life after high school.

When top-notch cyclist Dave (Dennis Christopher) learns that the world’s bicycling champions are always Italian, he attempts to turn himself into an Italian, driving his parents (Barbara Barrie, Paul Dooley) crazy.

But everything changes after he meets the Italian racing team-an encounter that ultimately leads him and his friends (Dennis Quaid, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earle Haley) to challenge the local college boys in the town’s annual bike race.

Tickets: £7 Entry Only or £8 with Hot Drink or Simply Fruit (Deadline for drink packages is 5:00 pm Friday 7th June) After this it will be £7 entry on the door.
