Captain Geoffrey Thorpe - alias ' The Sea Hawk '- wages a private war against the Spanish during the reign of Elizabeth I. His mission is to swell England's dwindling coffers - something which he achieves until a trap is laid and the Captain finds himself a galley slave aboard a Spanish vessel ... In this classic swashbuckling movie, Flora Robson gives a magnificent performance as Queen Elizabeth, returning to the character which won her international acclaim three years earlier in Fire Over England.

There have been clowns since time began because people have always needed a good laugh. Maybe it's something in the water, but the British have one of the oldest clowning traditions in the world. Clowns have popped up in palaces and market squares, theatres, opera houses, music-halls and circuses - they even found their way into the movies. But in these days of the recession where are the clowns? What price a good laugh?

BBC2 concludes its contribution to the Festival of India with Satyajit Ray's first historical film. It is a delicate and compassionate treatment of the annexation of the state of Oudh by the British. Counterpointing this inglorious incident is the continuing duel of the two chess-playing noblemen, sublimely oblivious of political and private turmoil in their obsession for the game.
Screenplay by SATYAJIT RAY based on the story by MUNSHI PREMCHAND Directed by SATYAJIT RAY. Films: page 15 A Hindi film with English subtitles
