Julian Bream
A Life in the Country
Far removed from his cockney childhood during the blitz in Battersea, Julian Bream now lives in an 18th-century farmhouse, in one of the most beautiful parts of England - the borders of Wiltshire and Dorset. But his home in the country is in no way an escapist retreat - it has become the centre of his working life. Here, he not only supervises the garden and organises cricket matches, but rehearses his Consort, studies new works and makes recordings.
In this film he plays both the lute and the guitar and with friends and colleagues like John Williams , Robert Tear and Hans Werner Henze performs music ranging from Bach to Rodrigo, from Dowland to Django Reinhardt. Commentary spoken by MICHAEL ALDRIDUE
Film editor Howard BILLINGHAM Written and produced by HERBERT CHAPPEII.

A film starring Gian Maria Volonte, Riccardo Cucciolla, Cyril Cusack, Geoffrey Keen, Milo O'Shea

'The most atrocious crime committed by human justice in this century' was how Franklin D. Roosevelt described the case of Sacco and Vanzetti. Tonight's film, a British premiere and the first of six with a sense of justice, reconstructs the famous - or infamous - trial, using some of the actual speeches, including the simple but moving final statements of the men in the dock.
On 5 May 1920, two Italian immigrants, a shoemaker and a fish peddler, were arrested by the police for robbery with murder. They had alibis, and witnesses, but they were also self-confessed anarchists and the case against them 'split America in two'.
