Church Langton Celebrates Richard Burton

With the 100 th anniversary of Richard Burton’s birth coming up on 10th November it seemed appropriate to show the film “Mr. Burton”.

MR. BURTON tells the true story of the relationship between Welsh schoolmaster Philip Burton and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins. The latter dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline.

Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, and made it his mission to fight for him, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father. Actor Burton would go on to be nominated for seven Oscars.

Severn Screen

All proceeds to support the upkeep and maintenance of St Peter’s Church, for which we are most grateful.
