Old Chinese proverb says ' He who mixes Monkey business with pleasure liable end up making people laugh'. As in the bizarre adventures of Tripitaka and his boon companions Monkey, Pigsy and Sandy.
The Great Journey Begins
Or how Tripitaka and Monkey arrived at a village being terrorised by a monster who turned out to be a good monster, which was perhaps even worse.

Beneath the Beechwood Hanger
Tucked away in the shadow of a hanging beechwood is the village of Selborne - almost immortalised in the works of one country writer, GILBERT WHITE. Every day for over 40 years he made an entry in his journal, leaving a unique record of the social and natural history of this small part of Hampshire.
Angela is joined by Bernard Price, Richard Mabey and Roger Love -grove in the parish of this 18th-century curate. From his church in the heart of the village, they wander through the timeless hollow lanes to the colourful autumnal umbrella of the beechwood itself.

continues the season of great Warner Brothers pictures.
Starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, Claude Rains, Alan Hale
Warner Brothers' colourful excursion into Sherwood Forest gave Errol Flynn one of the most spectacular roles of his career. For his Maid Marian he has the lovely Olivia de Havilland and for his villainous rival Sir Guy - Basil Rathbone, who makes a worthy duelling partner for the exciting climax.
