Narrated by Anthony Clare
If you leave London by Concorde just after your cornflakes and toast, you arrive before the New Yorkers have started their muffins and jelly. You get there before you left - by local time that is. What's it like to fly a mile every 21 seconds? Q.E.D. tells the story of one flight, Speedbird 193, with cameras on Concorde's flight deck, in the passenger cabin, and on the ground. Concorde's development has cost the taxpayer an arm and a leg but now it has flown more hours supersonically than any other aircraft - and that includes the military jets. As a prototype to learn from, it is unique - but is it a model for the future - or just a beautiful and expensive fast lady of the skies?

The feature film starring Jack Lemmon with Jack Gilford
Harry Stoner has a floundering business, an expensive life-style and a deep resentment about his lost past. Harry longs for the day when the world was young and stylish, the choices were simple and he was in love with 'something'. Now it costs him 200 dollars a day just to get up - and he can't afford it. He juggles the books, pimps for a client and plans an insurance fraud at one of his factories. All for money.... Jack Lemmon won an Oscar as best actor for his magnificent performance as Harry, in a film remarkable for its sharp script and sensitive direction.
