Review

on BBC Two England

Presented by James Mossman

Anthony Rossiter: I don't know anyone except possibly Virginia Woolf who has such a sense of the poetry of objects, of the visible as a world of sacramental signs.' W. H. Auden on the work of Anthony Rossiter. Like a pendulum-the name he gave his autobiography - Rossiter swings between joy and inspiration and the fear of madness.

Rebuffed Lover
Two more poems requested by viewers: Marlowe's Passionate Shepherd to his Love read by Martin Shaw and Sir Walter Raleigh's crushing Reply to Marlowe by the shepherdess, read by Janet Suzman.

Lotte Reiniger is one of the most original figures in the history of the cinema.
Nearly 50 years ago she made the first full-length cartoon film - The Adventures of Prince Achmed.
Tonight Review looks at her unique method of working and shows for the first time on television a section from Prince Achmed, which having been lost for many years has just been reprinted with sound and in the original colour.
Adapted for television by Terence Dixon
