A series of feature films starring Bob Hope
with Lucille Ball
and William Demarest, Bruce Cabot

Left as security on a bet, five-year-old Martha Jane finds her way to the flinty heart and, even more surprisingly, to the moth-ridden pocket of Sorrowful Jones, a penny-pinching small-time book-maker.
Tonight's film, though coming from a story by Damon Runyon, is virtually a re-make of the famous Shirley Temple movie "Little Miss Marker" which that precocious tot made in 1934 at the age of six. Runyon also provided the script for another Hope comedy seen in the previous 'Laugh With Hope' season - "The Lemon Drop Kid."

From Defeat to Resistance 1940-44
In 1940 France, humiliatingly defeated, signed a separate peace treaty with the Germans. The French prime minister Marshal Petain, the hero of Verdun, went to shake hands with the conqueror Adolf Hitler. And so the terrible abasement of collaboration began.
Five years later, in 1945, France took her place as an equal partner among the victorious Allied powers at the end of World War II. The honour of France, so tarnished in 1940, had been saved by the Resistance, the men and women who fought on after defeat.
"In the Name of France" is the story of these heroic men and women and of the events which propelled them to resistance. It is about those who saved France's name, and who often died a secret and unlovely death, anonymous and alone.

in conversation with V. S. Naipaul
"In truth I seem to have felt mostly the joys of living; in remembering, in recording, thanks to the gift of the Muse, is the pain."

Robert Lowell, America's finest living poet, talks to the distinguished West Indian novelist V.S. Naipaul. Robert Lowell has become nationally famous in America, where his mixture of political involvement and private unhappiness seems to mirror exactly the times we live in.

"Pity the planet, all joy gone from this sweet volcanic cone, peace to our children when they fall in small war on the heels of small war - until the end of time to police the earth a ghost orbiting forever lost in our monotonous sublime."
