The Small World of Sammy Lee will be introduced by Brigitte Mayr and Michael Omasta from Synema Vienna.
Sammy Lee, compère of a shabby Soho gentlemen's club, and inveterate poker player, needs to raise dosh within five hours to pay off his gambling depth.
Wolf Suschitzky's camera closely follows Sammy's attempt to save his neck from the wrath of his bookie, through Soho, to the East End, and back. The film is not only a great black comedy but document of a London long gone.
