Alain Resnais' film starring Gerard Depardieu, Nicole Garcia, Roger Pierre.
Jean Le Gall, born in comfortable circumstances, becomes director of Radio News. Janine Gamier, born into a Communist, working-class family hankers for the stage. Rene Ragueneau, born on a primitive farm, aims to be a textile tycoon.
Alain Resnais' award-winning film presents the lives and aspirations of three very different people against a discourse by Professor Henri Laborit on the biological basis of behaviour, intertwining them in a witty and challenging narrative in the first of a new selection of recent, outstanding foreign films.
Screenplay by JEAN GRUNALT.
Based on the works of PROFESSOR HENRI LABORIT.
Directed by ALAIN RESNAIS.
A French film with English subtitles.
(First showing on British television)
Eight personal accounts of experiences which have changed people's lives.
Ivy Jeffers took nearly 70 years to fulfil a lifelong ambition and become a minister. After a colourful career and a long, happy marriage, her husband died. When the wounds had healed she found new vitality in her work for the Congregational Church, and at 68 became the oldest woman in Britain to be ordained. Now 81, she is still preaching.
with Jan Leeming Weather
Tony Brown, seeded No 5, perhaps not on his best form this season, could be struggling in his first-round match against the North American Open Champion, John Kramer from the USA.
The second match this evening features the 'man on form', Jocky Wilson - the present Bullseye - and British Professional Champion and Scottish No 1. His first-round opponent is Scottish captain Rab Smith, who, on form, is capable of causing an upset.
Peter Purves introduces highlights of both contests from Jollees Club, Stoke-on-Trent, together with the results of:
Gordon Allpress (New Zealand) v Ceri Morgan (Wales)
Alan Evans (Wales) v Robert Sinnaeve (Canada)
