История четырех молодых людей, которые предпринимают одно из самых дерзких ограблений в истории США.

Henry opens his life to a woman and a damaged boy. As they move closer the past pulls them apart.

A sweet reminiscence about a family of four children and their RAF-veteran dad, who knows the timetable of every bus in London, but realizes his large family needs a car. He buys a Peugeot station wagon - license plate GFP831E, and the family sets off for annual holidays exploring every corner of Europe - "adopting local customs but never forgetting who won the war." The narrator is one of the children who, as he ages, sees things he missed as a lad - the car no rocket, dad no speedster. As the years wear on, and the car sits in the driveway, dad keeps it ready for the next great summer holiday.

This ambitious overview of the history of Prague provides a wealth of information about the city, both visual and verbal, but suffers from a one-note presentation. One note dominates the narration, that of continuity between past and present, and also the camerawork -- contrived to be as artful and art filled as the narration. Modern and ancient architecture and other cultural attributes of Prague, including scenes from the stage play Amadeus serve as a backdrop to the lecture on the nature of Prague history -- a non-stop "continuity of consciousness."

Produced for Scottish television, Venus Peter was financed by the Orkney Islands Council. The title character is transformed into a "sea child" when he is baptized with salt water. Though his family tries hard to accustom him to life on land, Peter (Gordon R. Strachan) yearns to go to sea -- or, at the very least, to escape his cloistered community. He finds a kindred spirit in Princess Paloma (Juliet Cadzow), the village "looney," who, alas, is eventually carted away to an institution. Briefly fascinated by poetry and music, thanks to his lovely teacher Miss Balsibie (Sinead Cusack), Peter is disillusioned when he finds his teacher in the arms of her lover (and out of her clothing). The final blow to Peter's idealism comes when his grandfather's ship is repossessed. Despite the bleakness of his surroundings and his seemingly dead-end existence, however, Peter never completely lets go of his dreams, and the film ends on a positive note.

Весной 1649 г., когда народные низы, уверовав в то, что отныне Англия, как значилось в парламентской декларации, стала «свободной республикой», и по-своему истолковав эту свободу, повсеместно пришли в движение, Уинстенли решился на необыкновенный, ставший позднее историческим шаг: он встал во главе немногочисленной группы бедняков, решивших явочным порядком приступить к коллективной обработке «общинных земель и пустошей». В воскресенье 1 апреля 1649 г. более двух десятков копателей во главе с Уинстенли и бывшим солдатом Уильямом Эверардом появились на холме Св. Георгия близ Кобхема (графство Серри). Вооруженные лопатами и мотыгами, они начали вскапывать почву для посева и возводить дом, что свидетельствовало об их намерении здесь поселиться. Вскоре в округе их назвали «диггерами»...
