Ansel Adams
The last in a series of six conversations.
Ansel Adams is America's most famous and most revered landscape photographer and, at 80, is still taking pictures of the rugged grandeur of the Californian landscape which has inspired so much of his work. In this film he shows hi£ own selection of photographs, many of which now hang in museums and fetch extraordinary prices. In his Californian home he talks to Peter Adam about his beginning as a photographer more than 50 years ago, his teachers and friends and his search for perfection which earned him a reputation as one of the world's greatest printers of photographs.

While winter lingers, indomitable ravens nest on the bleak mountain crags. In March the lowland air brims with birdsong; by April woods and hedgerows have a mosaic of wild flowers. Spring has arrived - the marvellous renewal -the cycle of life revived by the sun.

Marcello's life is spent trying to sublimate a childhood crime by behaving as conventionally as possible-he even volunteers as a Fascist spy in his effort to conform. This attempt to identify with the ruling class casts Marcello even further from the society he seeks to support, when he finds that he is required to organise a murder.
Based on the novel by ALRERTO MORAVIA
