The 35-ton Californian Greys were nicknamed 'Desert Whales' when a 19th-century whaling captain stumbled on their breeding grounds in the desert lagoons of Baja California. After years of slaughter the whales were eventually protected, and now Captain Jacques Cousteau follows some of the remaining 8,000 as they cover the last part of their 5,000-mile migration from their Arctic feeding grounds.
In the desert lagoons Cousteau and his team watch the underwater mating of these giants, the care of the mothers for their young, and make a desperate attempt to save the life of a stranded baby whale.

The story of Robert Schumann the composer during his Leipzig period, 1830-40: his love affair with the celebrated child pianist Clara Wieck, and the bitter opposition of her father, the great piano teacher Friedrich Wieck.
The Sicilian Teatro dei Pupi is probably the most exciting, and certainly the most bloodthirsty, of all the world's puppet theatres. In this film performance the dialogue is sub-titled, but the plot may be summarised as death-or-glory and needs no explanation for anyone who has ever slain dragons in his sleep.
