Michael Caine introduces the third of four programmes devoted to the early films from television's prize-winning director.

Both old film and specially shot material are combined with Bartok's music to reconstruct scenes from the composer's life and to explore the well-springs of his musical inspiration. The film also includes specially staged sequences from The Miraculous Mandarin and Duke Bluebeard's Castle.
The commentary is by Huw Wheldon.
