Pennies From Heaven (Potter)

Film Description

Directed by Piers Haggard. Establishing Bob Hoskins as one of Britain's leading actors and consolidating Dennis Potter as our foremost television writer, Pennies from Heaven was one of the BBC's most strikingly innovative serials. The staging of musical numbers that saw the actors miming to popular Thirties ditties was a technique that was to resurface throughout Potter's best work.
