' Africa changes everything. In reality we are allies, and the desert is our common enemy.'
This remark was made by a captured German officer during the desert war in North Africa in 1943, and it suggested to the young Scottish intelligence officer who was interrogating him, Captain Hamish Henderson , the theme for a cycle of poems. Completed four years later, Elegies for the Dead in Cyrenaica remains one of the most moving documents to come out of that war.
Henderson's personal account of his wartime experiences and how they influenced the poetry and songs he wrote at that time, is the subject of this film. The story begins in pre-war Cambridge where, like many of his generation who had been brought up on the horror stories of World War I, Henderson was a pacifist. How he entered the war and eventually became a well-known figure among the Italian partisans is told on location in Egypt, Sicily and Rome and illustrated with unique archive film of the period.

The life and death of a poet.
A drama documentary by Paul Ferris, starring Ronald Lacey as Dylan, Gayle Hunnicutt as Liz
with Clifford Evans, Ed Bishop, Rhoda Lewis, Toby Robins, Christopher Muncke, Helen Horton, Phil Brown
The poet Dylan Thomas, who died in New York in 1953, would have been 66 tomorrow. Alcohol and a doctor's injection of morphia were the immediate causes. Ever since his childhood in Wales his life was a spectacular attempt - comic at times, serious below the surface, tragic at the finish - to survive on his own bizarre terms as the poet to end all poets. By the 1950s, that first post-war decade of uneasiness and change, he was a legend to his admirers but a burnt-out case to himself. As he tours America to read poetry, his past crowds in on him, the fractured memories of a man at the end of his tether.

Robinson gives a masterly performance as a vulnerable innocent with a hard-boiled exterior. George Raft plays Johnny, whose glib way with women contrasts with Hank's gruff shyness.
