# Event Details

- **Event Name**: A 1940s Christmas Evening With Writer Helen Jacey
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 18 Dec, 2025 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: A 1940s vintage Christmas screening, a talk and book launch event with Dr Helen Jacey, local writer of the Elvira Slate crime novels. Helen will be  introducing a Hollywood classic film I’ll Be Seeing You (1944, directed by  William Dieterie) which  follows a romantic encounter at Christmas between a female prisoner (Ginger Rogers) and a GI (Joseph Cotten). When trauma support and rehabilitation of offenders were both in their infancy, the film - unusually for Hollywood – movingly addresses shame and recovery. A teenage Shirley Temple also appears.
​
Helen’s pre-film talk will also include the premier of the music video My Particular Guy, the theme-tune to her 1940s detective novel Chipped Pearls in the Elvira Slate Investigations series. And to celebrate the new Elvira Slate short story Hatpin Job, ticket holders are encouraged to don a hat! The wearer of the best hat will win a box set of Elvira Slate mini-mysteries! Helen will be signing books after the screening.

Enjoy the dark Christmas glamour of the 1940s!
