BBC2's first regular cinema magazine for a decade presents features and comment on new films. This week's programme has a special report from America on the Hollywood script wars, in which a writer sells a script for $3 million one week only to see it being rewritten the next, including an interview with William Goldman, who wrote the script of "All the President's Men". Plus the new Spike Lee film, "Mo Better Blues". Presented by Kate Leys.

Including at 10.45pm
All the President's Men
Starring Robert Redford, Dustin Hoffman
Based on the real-life Washington Post investigation by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, this vivid film is regarded as a modern classic. The journalists' coverage of the Watergate break-in led to the most significant political scandal of the decade. The film combines all the elements of a newspaper story with those of a political thriller.

Film: All the President's Men

Alan J. Pakula's 1976 thriller stars Robert Redford (below) and Dustin Hoffman as the journalists who exposed the Watergate scandal. The Oscar-winning screenplay was the masterly creation of William Goldman (whose other credits include Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and A Bridge Too Far). Before tonight's screening, Kate Leys presents BBC2's new film magazine Moving Pictures in which Goldman gives his views on the art of writing for the cinema and on the recent boom in prices paid for screenplays - one major studio recently paid $1 million to a first-time screenwriter. 10.45pm BBC2
