Award-winning film director Ken Russell will be in Herne Bay tonight as part of the town's festival.

He will introduce a much-anticipated screening of his 1964 film French Dressing.

The saucy comedy was shot in Herne Bay with local extras so viewers will be able to spot familiar seafront spots - and maybe themselves.

The film is being shown in Memorial Park with Russell on stage from 8.30pm and the screening from 9pm.
