This 4,000-mile race between the world's fastest rally drivers over dirt tracks in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda ended yet again in victory for an East African crew - Edgar Herrman and Hans Schuller in a Japanese Datsun 240Z. Why did so many of the international stars like Tony Fall, Timo Makinen and Hannu Mikkola fall out before the finish in Nairobi?

A nostalgic look back to Hollywood's booming 30s.

Warner Brothers practically invented the gangster movie, and pioneered the hard-hitting social dramas like I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang. On the lighter side there were the delirious musicals of Busby Berkeley, like Gold Diggers of 1933. Then there were Cagney, Bogart and Errol Flynn; Little Caesar, Jezebel and Captain Blood.

The pictures were fun, but making them was something else. Recalling the hard work, technical skill and glamour of the era at Warner .Brothers, the foremost studio of the era, are:
The stars:
Bette Davis, Edward G. Robinson, Olivia de Havilland, Pat O'Brien, Joan Blondell
The directors:
Busby Berkeley, Mervyn LeRoy, William Wellman
The writers:
Dalton Trumbo, John Bright
and producer: Hal Wallis
Written by Richard Schickel
An NET production
(Hard labour in Hollywood: page 12)

(A season of films from 'The Movie Crazy Years' begins with 'Jezebel' on BBC1, Friday 10.40 pm)
