Elderly cinema buffs' movie terror error horror.(News)

Nude scenes of Kim Basinger and Jeff Bridges have shocked a group of elderly cinemagoers, who were expecting to see a different film.

Fishguard's friendship circle had been looking forward to My House in Umbria, a drama about a group of friends coping after a terrorist attack - Dame Maggie Smith at her best.

What greeted them on the silver screen instead was Bridges's character Ted wandering around the house naked, while his wife Marion, played by Basinger (pictured), embarked on a racy relationship with his young colleague.

It was more than many members could stomach, and some walked out.

An internet review said of the film, 'Ted hires fresh-faced college student Eddie as his assistant. But before you can say Mrs Robinson, Marion's teaching the boy to do more than just proofread.'

It transpired the original film had been damaged and had to be replaced.

Theatre Gwaun manager Mel Lucking told the County Echo in Fishguard, 'We decided to get another film which was offered to us by the distributors in London. We though that would be better than no film. What might seem appropriate to someone in London need not necessarily be appropriate to someone in West Wales.

'The more elderly did not like the film, but the ones in their fifties and sixties found it more interesting.

'It seems you cannot please everyone all the time.'

Friendship Circle secretary Susan Neil said, 'There were a lot of naked scenes - the film started off with one.

'Some of our members walked out because they could not make head or tale of it.

'A few decided to stay right until the end.

'Although we have 60 members we didn't have all that many there, thank goodness.'
