The Trial and Death of Jesus
A Documentary Investigation
' The Jews ... both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men.' (1 Thessalonians 2, 15) The Jewish people have suffered torment, persecution and degradation for their forefathers' alleged part in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. In a recently published book, Dr Haim Cohn , expert in Jewish and Roman law, analysed and questioned the Gospels' charges against the Jews and threw new light on the Passion story. What really could have taken place that night during the arrest; in the house of the High Priest; and before Pilate in the morning? Who, in fact, crucified Jesus?

starring
Fred Astaire , Rita Hayworth
Rita Hayworth follows the example of Betty Grable in last week's Hollywood Musical, -finding romance in the Argentine. This time, Xavier Cugat 's orchestra provides the Latin American beat and although Fred Astaire sings ' I'm Old Fashioned' in convincing style, the famous feet do a dazzling routine to the Latin rhythm.
