1988: the year the world became a safer place.
The year of Gorbachev and Reagan, and the first steps to lasting peace. But also the year Eddie the Eagle triumphed at the Olympic
Games, Ian Botham escorted a herd of elephants over the Alps, and two whales, bored of being watched by the world's press, escaped from under the ice to the open sea. As the year ends, David Dimbleby looks back at events that are already memories: some trivial, some funny, some sad, and some, for once, quite encouraging. Picture editors

Have Wings
Tonight starring Cary Grant Jean Arthur
Rita Hayworth
Cary Grant stars as the tough airline captain in this gripping story of love and adventure.
The setting is the banana port of Barranca, a remote outpost in South America where a group of fliers battle to get the mail through on a regular schedule, despite near impossible flying conditions.
Howard Hawks's study of men of action under stress is packed with excitement, high drama, romance, wisecracks and brilliantly staged flying sequences.
