Movie Showcase: Between the Lines

on BBC Two England

continues the season of recent, highly-acclaimed films.
Starring John Heard, Bruno Kirby
Boston's one-time radical weekly, The Back Bay Mainline, is losing its excitement on the way to making a profit. The radical flavour and excitement is disappearing and big business is interested in a takeover. The effect is devastating for the young and dedicated journalists and hangers-on who have committed so much of their lives to the paper and to each other. This lively, very funny and often very moving film was one of the most critically-acclaimed films of the late 70s.
"I've seen a lot of good films this year, but this is the one I'll remember with the most affection." (DAILY MAIL)
