Edward Woodward as Oloff in The Story of Oloff de Wet
Oloff de Wet, sculptor and artist, was the only Briton to be sentenced to death by the Nazi People's Court. He was kept in solitary confinement, manacled hand and foot, for 18 months, and finally tried in Berlin in 1941 and sentenced to death.
The story of his survival for four years in a condemned cell and his eventual escape, is one of the most courageous episodes of World War ii.

Italy in Transition
A report by David Willey
In Italy the Communist Party is rapidly increasing its support and controls five of the 20 regions. It also dominates most of the big cities. The country is almost bankrupt, unemployment and inflation are high, and strikes are commonplace. What are the remedies and policies proposed by the leading parties? What effect do the domestic problems have on Italy's future as a member of the EEC and NATO? Can anything be learned from the Italian experience?
