Starring James Stewart, June Allyson
and featuring guest stars Louis Armstrong, Frances Langford, Gene Krupa, Ben Pollack, The Modernaires

Just 25 years ago, in December 1944, a single-engined plane disappeared over the English Channel ending the career of one of the world's great band leaders: Glenn Miller.
James Stewart achieves a remarkable likeness to Miller, brilliantly capturing both his modesty and his acutely professional musicianship. The film includes orchestral re-creations of such Miller hits as 'Moonlight serenade,' 'In the mood' and 'Little brown jug'; there could be no finer tribute to this great musician.

Paul is told a strange story about a girl missing from a village not far from Random Cottage. He learns that she didn't drive a car and she didn't take the only bus to the nearest station. In fact, nobody saw her leave at all...

by Noel Coward
[Starring] Celia Johnson
also starring Philip Latham, Richard Vernon

One of Coward's few 'costume' plays, The Marquise is set in 18th-century France (pre-Revolutionary, of course).
Celia Johnson plays The Marquise whose presence complicates the betrothal of a widower's daughter to the son of his oldest friend.
She has been frequently associated with Coward's work, ever since her unforgettable performance in "Brief Encounter".
Her co-stars are Richard Vernon, who became something of a cult-hero as "The Man in Room 17", and Philip Latham, a long way from the boardroom battles of "The Troubleshooters".

featuring Ruby Miller, Bessie Love, Elsa Schiaparelli, Hardy Amies, Mary Quant, Twiggy
A good-humoured film about what women wear and why; tracking the development of fashion from 1900 to the present day... and beyond.

'I don't think you have to wear clothes at all,' says Mary Quant, begetter of a whole generation of boutiques. 'Girls have always suffered to be fashionable,' says mini - model Twiggy. Modern fashion is 'all knees and navels,' says Gaiety Girl Ruby Miller. Mme Elsa Schiaparelli, one of the most influential designers of the century, makes one of her rare television appearances, and Hardy Amies shows three dresses from his 'New Look' collection.
More than 50 dresses are shown, always in the right social setting -an Edwardian theatre, a Twenties dance hall, a Rockers' Youth Club.
Contemporary film shows how fashion has adapted itself to the changing needs of women over the century and how different generations of women emphasise different parts of their bodies (Laver's Theory on the Movement of Erogenous Zones).
