FRIDAY FILM BEAT: Fading Gigolo

Only two words necessary to describe this week's Film Beat, which among other things has one of the few appearances by Woody Allen in a film he didn't direct: pure genius. If you get the chance to see this, then go see it. But don't visit Dunedin Hospital before you do, because it has been hit by what's being described as a perfect storm of vomiting and diarrhoea. Two wards remain closed and elective surgery has been postponed in a bid to control the outbreak. However, they are starting to get things under control, with just one new case being reported today.
