Alan Whicker takes a Birds'-Eye View
If you look marvellous-who needs a gorgeous character?

A Duke's daughter in her Adam palace
A library assistant who'd rather be a film star
A factory girl at a conveyer belt
They may not know much about Hitler, but they excel on contemporary man, marriage, and morals. (Colour)

Release ...into the world of films, plays, books, art, and music.
This week including:

Don Quixote
When the hit American musical 'Man of La Mancha' opened in London at the Piccadilly Theatre last week Don Quixote and Sancho Panza took to the road on yet another extension of a journey which started more than 350 years ago.
Since then numerous painters, film-makers, musicians, and writers have created works of art based on Cervantes' novel: Quixote and Sancho are familiar all over the world.
Release examines the reasons for their appeal and looks at some of the differing interpretations.
*
Art Unlimited
Mass-produced sculpture, prints unlimited... are the days of the 'one-off' hand-made work of art coming to an end?
Release visits the opening of an exhibition of multiples and prints in Milan, and Robert Hughes examines some aspects of a situation where art manufactured in factories to the specifications of the artist may soon be available in chain stores.
