The first episode in a three-part story. A series of murders in the area involves Dr. Hardy deeply. Each crime is similar to the last. One person must have committed them; but who? With the few indefinite clues available, Dr. Hardy tries to build up a picture of this paranoic killer to give the police some indication of the type of person to look for. One more attack takes place, but this time the victim survives. A suspect is arrested, but the surviving victim has amnesia, through shock. She is the only person who can make a positive identification.

A personal view by Kenneth Clark
'In the nineteenth century people used to think of the invention of printing as the lynch-pin in the history of civilisation. Well, fifth-century Chartres and fifteenth-century Florence got on very well without it - and who shall say that they were less civilised than we are. Still, on balance, I suppose that printing has done more good than harm.'
The theme of protest and communication leads Sir Kenneth Clark to the Reformation-the Germany of Albrecht Durer and Martin Luther-to Erasmus, to the France of Montaigne, and to the Elizabethan England of Shakespeare.
Extracts from Shakespeare performed by William Devlin, Ronald Lacey, Eric Porter, Ian Richardson and Patrick Stewart

The gay adventures of a precocious child in Paris.
Louis Malle uses every cinematic trick in the book and invents many more for this film. The colour photography of Paris is superb and most of the exciting shots on the Eiffel Tower were done on location.
Malle's other outstanding films include Lift to the Scaffold, which gave Jeanne Moreau her first real starring part It was a French Cinema presentation last month.
