starring
Bette Davis Glenn Ford Dane Clark
Identical twin sisters, one good, one bad, fall in love with the same man and, as always, the gentle Kate loses to the vivacious and more worldly Pat.
The dual roles provided Bette Davis with the chance to display the full range of her acting technique in a film which was also her first venture as a producer.

The Wreck of the Mary Rose
In the week when The Mary Rose Trust attempts to salvage what remains of the hull of this extraordinary ship, Chronicle repeats the second of its major films on the project as an introduction to new viewers and as a reminder for many others.
Henry VIII 's battleship, launched in 1510 and named after his sister. foundered under the gaze of the King in July 1545. Many men died. It was an inexplicable and mystifying disaster, which occurred during a battle with French ships attempting to invade and subdue
The Solent and the great harbour of Portsmouth where the Mary Rosewas built.
The divers on site and the committee members behind the scenes tell the story of the search for the Mary Rose in its final phases.
(Another Chronicle film, bringing you up to date, can be seen this evening at 9.55)

A Place for God on Earth
King Philip II of Spain conceived the idea of the gigantic building that still dominates the landscape of the Guadarrama mountains near Madrid. He supervised its construction down to the smallest detail. It was his obsession. It was to be a palace, a monastery, a burial place for kings and queens, a treasure-house of paintings, sculptures, manuscripts and books, and in its very centre it was to have a mighty basilica church.
In 1582 the basilica church of this vast complex was completed and the great cross installed on the dome. A grand Te Deum was sung to celebrate the completion of the church and the installation of the last of the art treasures that Philip had commissioned or collected from all over Europe. Few buildings in the world can tell us more about their founder than this one.
Nicholas Baum takes us round the building and tells its story.
Hugh Casson talks about how the building was constructed.
Hugh Trevor-Roper tells us how Philip II came to collect some of the great masterpieces in the Escorial.

by JANACEK with Elisabeth Soderstrom
This Welsh National Opera production was recorded in the New Theatre, Cardiff.
The opera, set in a small village on the banks of the Volga, tells the story of a love affair between Katya, a married woman, and Boris, a young man come from Moscow. The reactions of her family and neighbours make a compelling and tragic study of human frailty.
Libretto by CERVINKA, based on OSTROVSKY'S play The Storm English translation by NORMAN TUCKER conducted by Richard Armstrong

The Wreck of the Mary Rose
Since the spring of 1982, The
Mary Rose Trust has worked flat out, under the sea and in the office, to plan, to raise the money for, and to achieve an almost impossible object - the recovery from the silt at the bottom of The Solent of what remains of the hull of one of King Henry VIII 's favourite battleships.
Chronicle has followed the project since 1971, when only a line of eroded timber frames, uncovered by a freak storm, denoted the site of one of the richest archaeological sites ever found in Great Britain. Tonight's film brings viewers up to date with the project and sets the scene for the live outside broadcast coverage tomorrow morning when the Mary Rose will be seen again above the surface.
