British Beaches in the Movies: No Bette Midler, we promise

By Liz Mannion of the Ritz Cinema, Thirsk.

When you think of beaches and films what do you think of? Probably Bette Midler and, consequently, that girl who used to star in the hit TV show Blossom. But the newly-released British film Third Star (2011) has got me thinking about beaches as locations and the tempestuousness and romanticism the coastline can inject into a picture.
