When a struggling young couple receive news that they’ve inherited a movie theater from his long-lost uncle, they dream of movie palace riches. What they get is a dilapidated money pit staffed by a most curious set of eccentrics. Sentiment gets the best of them, however, and they set out to revive the old theater in this classic and quirky British comedy.
