Arena presents the extraordinary story of Tim Page, war photographer and Vietnam legend-a tale first told in MICHAEL HERR'S celebrated book about Vietnam, Dispatches.
'People made Page sound crazy and ambitious, like the Sixties Kid, a stone-cold freak in a country where the madness raced up the hills and into the jungles ... he'd picked up a camera the way you or I would pick up a ticket, but he would go places for pictures that very few other photographers were going.'
Page was wounded four times in Vietnam. The fourth and final time, he was logged ' dead on arrival'. But he survived against all the odds. Tonight he tells . his story.

(What Lola Wants) starring
Tab Hunter
Gwen Verdon Ray Walston
This American reworking of the Faust legend into the story of the baseball fan who made a pact with the devil, became a highly successful Broadway musical.
Joe Boyd , a middle-aged business-man, would give anything to see the Washington Senators win the coveted pennant from the Yankees baseball team. When an elegant stranger offers him just that, it is an offer Joe cannot refuse - but he has not been selling insurance for 20 years without learning a trick or two himself.
Music and lyrics by RICHARD ADLER and JERRY ROSS Produced and directed by STANLEY DONEN and GEORGE ABBOTT Films: page 23
