The Shooting Party

The Shooting Party, an undisputed classic of the British screen, has been stunningly restored by its distinguished cinematographer Fred Tammes. In his final film James Mason leads a superb cast including Edward Fox, Robert Hardy, Gordon Jackson and Sir John Gielgud in a heart-rending and penetrating adaptation of Isabel Colegate's compelling masterpiece.

It is the autumn of 1913 and Europe stands on the brink of the war to end all wars. A country house party assembles to celebrate a world that is passing into history and gunfire in the depths of the English countryside will soon be heard in the killing fields of Flanders. The Shooting Party brilliantly captures a moment in time in a story that will stay with you forever.
