Danger: Diabolik | Stoke Film Theatre | Hartshill Rd | Fri 18 Sept

Stoke-on-Trent's independent cinema, Stoke Film Theatre, will be showing The Odyssey on Friday 18 September at 7:45pm. The film is 12A and has subtitles

The cinema is located at The Wade Centre, Hartshill Road.

Stoke Film Theatre said: "Danger: Diabolik is a stylish cult classic based on the iconic Italian comic series by Angela and Luciana Giussani, following the exploits of master thief Diabolik.

"Clad in a sleek, skin-tight black body suit, Diabolik (John Phillip Law) and his glamorous accomplice Eva Kant (Marisa Mell) operate from a cavernous, high-tech underground hideout, plotting daring, often absurd, heists.

"They consistently outwit Inspector Ginko and his league of not-so-extraordinary detectives."
