Guillaume Apollinaire
The French poet who died fifty years ago today is honoured in London this week by an exhibition and a play about his life.
This Release film reflects his gifts as a poet and the feverish excitement of the artistic world of Paris in the first years of the twentieth century.

'The Hero Rises Up'
John Arden and his wife Margaretta D'Arcy talk about their experimental production at The Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, London, of their latest play, which Arden describes as '..a melodrama in two acts, handling the glorious victories, the political indiscretion, and the ascent into our National Pantheon of the late Viscount Nelson. It also touches, with a passionate delicacy, his scandalous and sensational intercourse with Emma Lady Hamilton'.
