He was series editor of Longman’s Inside Film and On Directors, wrote the acclaimed New Cinematographers, based on interviews with six of the world’s top directors of photography, and co-authored Penguin’s The Rough Guide to Film Noir. Alexander’s day job is managing Bailey Hill Bookshop in Castle Cary whereas his “other” job for nearly a decade was writing Phyllis Dalton: A Career in Costume. His book is the result of a decade of exclusive interviews with the double Oscar-winning film costume designer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEntrance: £10 which includes a glass of wine\n\n\n\nYou can purchase tickets by completing the form below.\n\n\n\nTickets can also be booked through the Thomas Poole Library, or by:\n\n\n\n\nEmailing eventsandpr@thomaspoolelibrary.org.uk ( mailto:eventsandpr@thomaspoolelibrary.org.uk )\n\n\n\nCalling the library on 07734 968940\n\n\n\n\n\nvar gform;gform||(document.addEventListener("gform_main_scripts_loaded",function(){gform.scriptsLoaded=!0}),document.addEventListener("gform/theme/scripts_loaded",function(){gform.themeScriptsLoaded=!0}),window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function(){gform.domLoaded=!0}),gform={domLoaded:!1,scriptsLoaded:!1,themeScriptsLoaded:!1,isFormEditor:()=>"function"==typeof InitializeEditor,callIfLoaded:function(o){return!(!gform.domLoaded||!gform.scriptsLoaded||!gform.themeScriptsLoaded&&!gform.isFormEditor()||(gform.isFormEditor()&&console.warn("The use of gform.initializeOnLoaded() is deprecated in the form editor context and will be removed in Gravity Forms 3.1."),o(),0))},initializeOnLoaded:function(o){gform.callIfLoaded(o)||(document.addEventListener("gform_main_scripts_loaded",()=>{gform.scriptsLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}),document.addEventListener("gform/theme/scripts_loaded",()=>{gform.themeScriptsLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}),window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",()=>{gform.domLoaded=!0,gform.callIfLoaded(o)}))},hooks:{action:{},filter:{}},addAction:function(o,r,e,t){gform.addHook("action",o,r,e,t)},addFilter:function(o,r,e,t){gform.addHook("filter",o,r,e,t)},doAction:function(o){gform.doHook("action",o,arguments)},applyFilters:function(o){return gform.doHook("filter",o,arguments)},removeAction:function(o,r){gform.removeHook("action",o,r)},removeFilter:function(o,r,e){gform.removeHook("filter",o,r,e)},addHook:function(o,r,e,t,n){null==gform.hooks[o][r]&&(gform.hooks[o][r]=[]);var d=gform.hooks[o][r];null==n&&(n=r+"_"+d.length),gform.hooks[o][r].push({tag:n,callable:e,priority:t=null==t?10:t})},doHook:function(r,o,e){var t;if(e=Array.prototype.slice.call(e,1),null!=gform.hooks[r][o]&&((o=gform.hooks[r][o]).sort(function(o,r){return o.priority-r.priority}),o.forEach(function(o){"function"!=typeof(t=o.callable)&&(t=window[t]),"action"==r?t.apply(null,e):e[0]=t.apply(null,e)})),"filter"==r)return e[0]},removeHook:function(o,r,t,n){var e;null!=gform.hooks[o][r]&&(e=(e=gform.hooks[o][r]).filter(function(o,r,e){return!!(null!=n&&n!=o.tag||null!=t&&t!=o.priority)}),gform.hooks[o][r]=e)}});\n\n\n \n X/TwitterThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.To purchase your tickets, please complete the form.Name(Required)\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)Phyllis Dalton: A Career in Costume: Quantity\n \n \n Price:\n £ 10.00\n \n \n Quantity \n DonationI would like to make an additional donation to support the great work the Library does.Thank You.\n \n Gift Aid\n \n I want to Gift Aid this donation and any donations I make in the future or have made in the past 4 years to The Thomas Poole Library Nether Stowey\n Boost your donation by 25p of Gift Aid for every £1 you donate.
