The Queen of Spades ‘Where has this film been all of my life?’ you may well ask yourself after having seen this overlooked 1949 British cinema masterpiece now reissued on a

spanking new print complete with filmed introduction by fan Martin Scorsese (again). Adapted from a tale by Alexander Pushkin and directed by Thorold Dickinson (Gaslight, The Arsenal Stadium Mystery), it’s a spellbinding story about a soldier (played by the great Anton Walbrook) in Napoleonic era St Petersburg who turns to the dark arts to satiate his obsession with cards. Filmhouse, Edinburgh, from 26 Dec.
