Short biopic about W B Yeats's girlfriend
Gonne in 60 Seconds
A restauranteur's insistence on serving everything under a pastry crust drives his customers away
Pie Another Day
...and its sequel, in which he woos back his customers by promising to change his ways
Tomorrow - Never Pies!
... and number 3 in the series, in which one of his customers confesses an addiction to his pastry, so the restauranteur promises that he will resume his craft -
For Your Pies Only.
(Yeah, I know I changed more than 1 letter there - but I did resist the fascinating temptation of "The Pie Who Loved Me")
