In the countryside near New York a butterfly lays its eggs on a leaf. Days later a caterpillar emerges to eat its way into the world and meet life's dangers. Nature's miracle transforms the grub into the fragile beauty of the butterfly which heightens the perils of its transient life by fluttering into the city's untold terrors.

featuring motor racing's Formula One World Championship
Much of the limelight this season has shone on the former world champion Niki Lauda - his victory at Long Beach three weeks ago moves him up to third in the drivers' table, just ahead of reigning champion Nelson Piquet. Although the Brazilian is today seeking a hat-trick of wins at the Imola circuit, the reliability of the British-built Williams could prove decisive for Finland's championship leader Keke Rosberg.

starring Orson Welles
Edward G. Robinson , Loretta Young This gripping thriller, directed with great flair by Orson Welles , is one of the finest examples of hunt, chase and catch movie melodramas. Edward G. Robinson plays the leading role of Wilson, a detective determined to track down a notorious Nazi war criminal. A former aide of the man is permitted to escape and Wilson follows him to America. The trail leads to a sleepy Connecticut town....
Produced by Sam Spiegel after the critical success but commercial failure of Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons, the film demonstrates once again the wide range of Orson Welles ' inimitable talents as actor and director.
Screenplay by ANTHONY VEILLER
Based on a story by VICTOR TRIVAS and DEC LA DUNNING
Produced by SAM SPIEGEL Directed by ORSON WELLES
