A plug for my brother’s new movie
One of the big movies that’s just gone on general release in the UK is “127 Hours” which was produced by my brother, John Smithson. Six years ago he won the BAFTA for best British film with “Touching the Void”
127 Hours, based on a true story, has become notorious for its key scene when a man, trapped by a boulder, has to amputate his own arm to save his life.
And the betting implications – it might feature in the Oscar nominations. Roger will be doing his annual Oscar tips in the next month or so.
