Devon and Cornwall Film

For those of you considering a post prandial today, spare a thought for the French fella Philippe Petit, who on August 7, 1974, stepped out on a wire suspended between New York’s twin towers, then the world’s tallest buildings. He spent an hour dancing around before he was caught and thrown into jail.

Of course such japes could not go un-movie-fied and now there is Man On Wire. It’s released on August 1, but we have the trailer right here right now.

Check out the website too, if you fancy, and remember this, for Philippe Petit, that was no small feat (hardy ha-ha).
