Ten films about the wildlife of the seashore, presented by Tony Soper
4: Between the Tides
Animals that live between high and low tides are alternately covered by water, then dried out by the sun. How do they cope? Barnacles cover themselves with limey plates, limpets stick to rocks and periwinkles have a trap-door on their shells. And one of them is turning into a land animal.

continues the season of films by DOUGLAS SIRK , starring
Rock Hudson , Jane Wyman
A magnificent combination of talents transforms a seemingly ordinary love story into a melodrama of passion thwarted by jealousy and prejudice in small-town America. Jane Wyman plays a well-off, lonely widow who falls in love with her handsome, young gardener -a man from a different social background. The reactions to their affair, which shocks the local townsfolk, is treated by director Sirk as a microcosm of contemporary society and through it he creates a stylish and elegant movie - which is at once entertaining and thought-provoking.
