	<Blurb about the Film>

------
'The Guardian Interview with Elvis Costello'

"Elvis Costello, aka Declan McManus, is one of the finest pop song writers and
performers to have emerged in this country since the late 1970s... "

<Short EC Bio -- Sorry, I'm no typist and I don't have a text scanner>

"We are pleased to welcome him to the NFT to discuss his own favourite music
films and also to reveal secrets of his series of fleeting film performances.

"Plus 'Tom Thumb': A New Adaption of the Tom Thumb story illustrated by Tim
Gabon and featuring music composed and produced by Elvis Costello."

'A Hard Day's Night'

<Film blurb> 

"One of Elvis' favourite movies, he remembers seeing it on first release in
Liverpool, when screaming fans drowned out the sound track."

---
'This is Spinal Tap'

<Film Blurb> 

"Elvis selected this not only because of its humour but also because he feels
that it is absolutely authentic in its expose' of all the ridiculous cliches
and absurdities surrounding big-time rock and roll."

---
'Meltdown Event'

<The gist is that a bunch of contemporary musicians will perform "their own
new scores to classic silent cinema films." No names are mentioned and it's
"Subject to confirmation.">

---
'Duck Soup'

<Film blurb> 
"Shown here because it shares the understandable distinction of being a
favourite film of Elvis Costello, as well as Graham Greene."
