That, so far, is the story of Jumbo and Concorde, but whether it will end - as Aesop's fable - with the ultimate triumph of the tortoise is open to debate. World Airlines now face the choice of trying to keep going on the present mixture of business and holiday travel or taking a plunge into a different pattern for the future.
Concorde could give the airlines the chance to play the charter boys at their own game - by letting business travel first-class and supersonic, and using the Jumbo to meet the growing demand for cheap mass travel. But will they? Money at Work reports from as far apart as Seattle and Bristol on the planemakers' dilemma.

Starring Paul Hubschmid, Debra Paget

Fritz Lang's two-part adventure set amidst the breathtaking scenery of Rajasthan has never been seen in Britain in an uncut subtitled version.

In the second part, The Indian Tomb, Berger and Seetha are rescued by a passing caravan but almost immediately fall foul of Chandra's treacherous half-brother Ramigani who has extremely unpleasant plans for their future.
