Great American Picture Show: Love and Death

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

starring
Woody Allen , Diane Keaton
1812: a prison somewhere in Russia. Boris Grushenko awaits his execution (for a crime he did not commit) and stoically looks back over his all-too-short life.
Woody Allen is at his most anarchic and irreverent in this frantic parody on Russian literature - and its filmic derivations. Inspired by the Marx Brothers and Ingmar Bergman , this is a comic highlight in this season of famous films of the 1970s.
Produced by CHARLES H. JOFFE
Written and directed by WOODY ALLEN
