When the American Army of Occupation tries to bring democracy to the Okinawan village of Tobiki, the residents are less than grateful. American dynamism proves no match for Japanese guile, personified by Marlon Brando in one of his rare comedy roles as the wily Japanese interpreter, Sakini.

Aika was born in a Berlin zoo. When she was a few months old she left the zoo to be brought up as a pet by a Russian family in Siberia. Then it was decided to take her back to her natural environment in the Arctic to see if she could adapt to life there.
In a unique film Yuri Ledin , one of the Soviet Union's best-known natural history cameramen, recorded Aika's first impressions of her homeland and her first encounter with wild polar bears. Written and narrated by ERIC THOMPSON
Adapted from a Soviet TV film by MARYSE ADDISON
Launched from the lush meadows of the Berkshire Downs, a model plane seems to develop a life of its own as it soars in the air and leads its hapless owner a will o' the wisp dance over hill and dale until the cliff-hanger conclusion.

Tonight from BBC North Moving On
What's it like to be virtually imprisoned by an inability to read and write?
This film, originally made to mark the first year of the national adult literacy scheme, and the BBC's On the Move programmes, looks at how four people are overcoming problems that go back to their schooldays: the housewife with poetry in her head but unable to write it down; the lorry driver who couldn't understand road signs; the woman whose mother read aloud to her until she was nearly 50; the youth who wanted to be a mechanic but couldn't read a handbook.
Narrated and produced by ALLAN KASSELL

The second screening of a series of six films, made as part of last year's World of Islam Festival, and showing various aspects of traditional Islamic civilisation as it still exists today-a civilisation that is based on premises quite different from our own.
1: Unity
The Islamic World has been Europe's neighbour for 1,300 years, and for much of this time it was the most widespread and powerful civilisation in the world. Yet, arguably, we know less about it than we do of the more remote cultures of China or India.
This first film in the series is shot in Africa and the Middle East, and introduces some of the basic ideas of Islamic civilisation. It includes scenes of the immense annual Pilgrimage to Mecca - probably the most ancient and certainly the most impressive collective human activity in the world.

A murdered blonde; two detectives assigned to the case; a falsely suspedted victim of circumstance-all the ingredients of a routine police thriller, but The Naked City, filmed on location in New York, was given a strikingly realistic treatment which was to influence a whole line of crime movies and television series.
