On the Rails, Off the Rails Linda Kitson , war-artist in the Falklands, takes a train and a sketch-pad across
Canada -just 100 years after her great-great grandfather (later to become Lord
Strathcona) hammered the last spike into the last sleeper on the coast-to-coast Canadian Pacific Railway.
In the course of her 3,000-mile journey Linda copes with a derailment, a blizzard and the awkward and multifarious requirements of a film crew. She traverses the wilderness, the prairies and the mountains; along the way she meets gospel singers, refugees, cowboys, train-buffs and, of course, the ordinary people of Canada.
'A wonderful journey,' says Linda, 'so many miles, so many surprises.'

starring Susan Sarandon Christopher Walken
As her job keeps her on the move, Helene has never stayed anywhere long enough to make friends. A chance encounter pushes her into amateur dramatics and the arms of Harry Nash. On stage Harry is aggressive and passionate. In real life he is painfully shy. Handicapped by her lack of experience, Helene sets out to woo the elusive Harry. This sparkling comedy was shown at the Venice Film Festival to great critical acclaim.

The 1986 Formula One World Championship Detroit Grand Prix
The street circuit of downtown Detroit, a grey concrete web, has a reputation which surpasses that of Monaco. It's bumpy, tight, tricky and exhausting. Only six cars finished last year, and the streets looked more like a scrap-yard than a race-track. Britain's
NIGEL MANSELL and MARTIN BRUNDLE are always very competitive, and the flying Finn,
KEKE ROSBERG, Will be aiming for a Detroit double. Commentators

Kit Carruthers dispassionately murders his girlfriend's father and together they head for Montana, leaving a trail of laconically executed mayhem behind them - before the fulfilment of Kit's dream of fame and an inevitable confrontation. This chilling portrait of a young murderer and his teenage accomplice was the remarkable debut of director Terrence Malick , who created one of the most unusual and beautiful films of the decade.
