starring William Holden, Johnny Stewart

Boots Malone, a jockey's agent down on his luck, doesn't see the potential in the horse-mad youngster who arrives at the track one day - but The Kid eventually wins his spurs.
The American race track provides some puzzling contrasts with our own, but the story and characterisation are full of interest, particularly the development of the relationship between Boots and The Kid. The film is also unusual in completely avoiding any 'love interest.'

A crime series
Martin Wyldeck as Carter Dickson's Sir Henry Merrivale investigates the case of And so to Murder dramatised by Paul Wheeler

In the summer of 1939 a film company is engaged in making a film about 'Spies at Sea.' But their efforts are bedevilled by a mysterious chain of 'accidents' which threaten to disrupt the whole project. Is this sabotage? The whole company becomes nervous and on edge. Into this tense atmosphere comes Monica Stanton, a young novelist engaged to work on another film scenario. Suddenly the 'accidents' take on a new and more personal character and lives are endangered. The great Sir Henry Merrivale, Head of Security Service, who is investigating the sabotage attempts, turns his attention to the new menace.

by Fred Burnley and Barbara Barkham
starring Edward Woodward, Lelia Goldoni

Scott Fitzgerald was the darling and the genius of the Jazz Age - and died at 44 in obscure poverty in Hollywood in 1940. Author of The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night, his literary success began at the top and plummeted downwards through his tormented lifetime.
This dramatised film authentically re-creates his moving and tragic marriage to Zelda, her lapse into madness, and his 'crack-up' - the last unhappy years of alcoholism. Always curiously prophetic about his own fate, Fitzgerald examines his life entirely in his own words, adapted from his fiction and private letters.
