Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?
Aroview: This whimsical coming-of-age tale set in the divide between disco and punk cultures in 1977 Britain has more to offer than just vibrant nostalgia.
Its parallel story of the not-so-young is where its real charm lies - Tom Courtenay is brilliantly deadpan as the eponymous Harold Smith, a shy, retired couch potato who gains unlikely late-life celebrity as a Uri Geller-like guru of telekinesis. Corny idea is brought real pathos by the veteran actor, ably supported by the high profile cast.
