War drama starring Richard Attenborough, John Gregson and Michael
Craig. Captain Williams (Gregson) is a martinet mine expert who

Desert Group patrol into shape. This brings him into conflict with
patrol leader Captain Cotton (Craig), but earns him the respect of
hard-bitten trooper Brody (Attenborough). The wisdom of Williams'
no-nonsense approach is demonstrated when the patrol is besieged by
the highly-disciplined members of the German Afrika Korps.

Richard Rogers is one of the worlds most distinguished architects,
as well as a powerful and effective advocate for the role of
architecture and urban design in improving everyday lives. Famous
for his inside out architectural style, Rogers' unique approach to
architectural design has generated such landmarks as the Pompidou
Centre in Paris and the Lloyds building in London. This volume,
accompanying the exhibition Richard Rogers RA: Inside Out, at the
Royal Academy of Arts, explores the origins of and influences on
Rogerss thinking, and explains how his wide-ranging interests
inform his design process. Featuring contributions from major
figures from the worlds of politics, fine art, social policy,
architecture and urban design, as well as an exclusive interview
with Richard Rogers by the exhibitions curator Jeremy Melvin, this
book shows why his work continues to be fresh, challenging and
inventive and how breaking new ground in architecture impacts on
wider social and cultural fields.

A handsome small-time crook carries out a heist on a payroll van.
But he hasn't reckoned on the determination of the company owner to
recover the money. British thriller starring Michael Craig and
Billie Whitelaw.
Collection of classic British film noirs. 'Hunted' (1952) stars
Dirk Bogarde as hapless murderer Chris Lloyd, who takes flight from
his crime with six-year-old witness Robbie (Jon Whiteley) in tow.
As they head towards the Scottish border, the pair strike up a
friendship of sorts and Lloyd learns that the boy has problems of
his own. 'So Long at the Fair' (1950) follows the fortunes of Vicky
Barton (Jean Simmons) as she attempts to locate her missing
brother, Johnny (David Tomlinson), in Paris. George Hathaway
(Bogarde), an acquaintance of her brother, may hold the key to her
quest. '21 Days' (1937) stars Laurence Olivier as Larry, a man who
accidentally kills the ex-husband of his girlfriend, Wanda (Vivien
Leigh), and appeals to his brother, Keith (Leslie Banks), for help.
Keith, a young barrister on the verge of being promoted to the
bench, is reluctant to get involved, but when a tramp is arrested
for the crime the two brothers face a grave dilemma. 'Turn the Key
Softly' (1953) stars Joan Collins, Yvonne Mitchell and Kathleen
Harrison as a trio of women from different backgrounds released
from prison on the same day. The three agree to meet for dinner to
discuss their first day of freedom - if they can survive its
temptations and avoid heading straight back to jail, of course.
'Sapphire' (1959) explores the aftermath of the murder of a
fair-skinned West Indian immigrant in London. To the police, led by
Superintendent Hazard (Nigel Patrick) and Inspector Learoyd
(Michael Craig), the case seems clear cut - Sapphire must have been
killed by a member of the black community. However, when Sapphire's
brother (Earl Cameron) turns up at the police station and
Sapphire's true ethnic roots become known, Hazard and Learoyd must
face up to the racism of two communities and, quite possibly, their
own.

Age-gap romantic comedy, 1960s style, starring Charles Bronson and
Susan George. Scott (Bronson) is a middle-aged American author of
erotica living in the UK. He meets and falls for Twinky (George) -
a sprightly, beautiful young woman of 'almost 20'. Despite the age
gap, things go smoothly and the two lovers soon elope to Scotland
to tie the knot. Twinky's parents are less than enamored of the
idea - primarily because Twinky is not 20 - she's 16. Scott tries
to make things work though, and takes Twinky back to New York to
meet his friends who are also sceptical of the affair's
authenticity. The cast is practically a who's who of '60s British
film including Jack Hawkins, Robert Morley and Trevor Howard.
'Twinky' portrays the swingin' view of London fashionable abroad at
the time and was one of many reasonably successful films Bronson
starred in during his European phase.
In America between 1946 and 1953, the German-Jewish architect Eric
Mendelsohn planned seven synagogues, of which four were built, all
in the Midwest. In this book, photographer Michael Palmer has
recorded in exquisite detail Mendelsohn's four built synagogues in
Saint Paul, Saint Louis, Cleveland, and Grand Rapids. These
photographs are accompanied by an insightful contextual essay by
Ita Heinze-Greenberg which reflects on Eric Mendelsohn and his
Jewish identity. Mendelsohn's post-war commitment to sacred
architecture was a major challenge to him, but one on which he
embarked with great enthusiasm. He sought and found radically new
architectural solutions for these "temples" that met functional,
social, and spiritual demands. In the post-war and post-Holocaust
climate, the old references had become obsolete, while the founding
of the State of Israel in 1948 posed a claim for the redefinition
of the Jewish diaspora in general. The duality of Jewish and
American identity became more crucial than ever and the
congregations were keen to express their integration into a modern
America through these buildings. Hardly anyone could have been
better suited for this task than Mendelsohn, as he sought to
justify his decision to move from Israel and adopt the USA as his
new homeland. The places he created to serve Jewish identity in
America were a crowning conclusion of his career. They became the
benchmark of modern American synagogue architecture, while the
design of sacred space added a new dimension in Mendelsohn's work.

Few living artists can claim to have had the influence of Michael
Craig- Martin. Celebrated around the world for his distinctive
work, and with major retrospectives, high-profile commissions and
numerous honours to his name, he has also helped nurture
generations of younger artists, among them Julian Opie, Damien
Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Liam Gillick and Gary Hume. Often described as
the godfather of the YBAs, he taught by combining personal example
and individual guidance, offering students encouragement, practical
advice and insights gained from his own professional highs and
lows. This powerful combination gave them the self-knowledge,
confidence and motivation to flourish as some of the most
successful figures in contemporary art. Now Craig-Martin shares the
same benefit of his experiences with yet another generation. Part
memoir and part instructional guide, On Being An Artist is a
remarkable mix of reminiscence, personal philosophy, anecdote,
self-examination, and advice for the budding artist. In a series of
short episodes, he reflects with both wit and candour on the many
ideas, events and people that have inspired and shaped him
throughout his life, from his childhood in the postwar United
States through his time as an art student at Yale in the 1960s and
subsequent work as a teacher, to his international success in later
years. More than the life of one of the most creative minds of our
age, On Being An Artist provides lesson after valuable lesson to
anyone wishing to know what it means and what it takes to be an
artist today.

As one of the key figures in the first generation of British
conceptual artists and a crucial force behind many of the Young
British Artists, Michael Craig-Martin has dedicated a career to
complicating the practice and reception of drawing. Often
considered the 'high priest of the everyday', he is engaged with
the methodical exploration of those objects and design classics
that are so often taken for granted: the tap, the clothes hanger,
the petrol pump, the Anglepoise lamp. For Craig-Martin, those
objects that we value least, simply for their ubiquity, are often
the most extraordinary. His is a world of revelation.

From Durham to Tehran presents a Persian literature specialist's
impressions and reflections on his field of study and profession,
based on two research trips, one to Durham, England in 1986 and the
other to Tehran, Iran in 1989. With a format of travel diary
entries, the book intends to suggest issues which American students
of non-Western literary cultures face in their professional lives.
It highlights ambiguities which characterise the situations and
experiences of American students of living non-Western literatures.
Moreover, it suggests that involvement in an older non-Western
literary culture impels the American to reflection on his or her
own roots and cultural history. It includes memories of many
notable literary figures including Jalal Al-e Ahmad, Ali Shariati
and Sadeq Chubak.

affairs of others; three segments of his past and future are
presented as evidence. 'The Mysterious Planet' shows the Doctor and

the evidence against the Doctor? In his defence he presents 'Terror
of the Vervoids', a future story where the Earth is threatened by

Foe', the Doctor learns the truth about his prosecuting counsel,
the Valeyard (Michael Jayston), and has to enter the Matrix to
battle for his remaining lives. This was Colin Baker's last story
as the Doctor.
