Rembrandt - Painter of Man
1969 is the third centenary of Rembrandt's death. The first of a series of exhibitions to mark the occasion opens at the British Museum on Thursday.
Release takes this opportunity to show the distinguished film about Rembrandt's life and work directed by the Dutch film-maker Bert Haanstra.

Edward Bond
"The most important British playwright to emerge in the 1960s" is how The Observer's Theatre Critic described Edward Bond whose season of plays is now running at the Royal Court Theatre in London. Yet he is perhaps best known as the author of Saved which caused violent revulsion in some critics and members of the public and provoked an unprecedented summons by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
His latest play "Early Morning" opened last Thursday, and a scene from it will be shown in this Release item in which Bond talks to Ronald Eyre.
