Soon the two are lovers, but tortured by their impossible situation they decide on a perfect solution - murder. The archetypal film noir, based on JAMES M. CAIN 'S celebrated story, has been filmed four times; this was the first English language version. Tonight The Film
Club also presents VISCONTI'S 'unofficial' version.

Fourth of five programmes in BBC2's festival
A ballet in three acts
Music by Dmitri Shostakovich Performed by the Bolshoi Ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow Choreography by Yuri Grigorovich , Artistic
Director of the Bolshoi Ballet Orchestra of the Bolshoi Theatre conducted by Alexander Lavrenyuk starring with A decadent nightclub, called The Golden Age, a show dancer who's really a bandit, a kidnapped heroine forced to dance at the point of a knife: this ballet was the great popular success of the Bolshoi's 1986 tour of Britain and a spectacular recent addition to their repertoire. The time of the story is the 20s: the NEP period of the young Soviet republic, when private business was temporarily allowed to operate once more - with all its attendant 'decadence' and 'evils'! The ballet is a brilliant product of Shostakovich's precocious youth, before his conflicts with the Soviet state. Designer SIMON VlRSALADZE Sound GRAHAM HAINES

Tomorrow sees the start of the 1987 Lombard RAC Rally - the last round of this year's World Rally Championships. One-hundred-and-sixty-five drivers fight it out over 330 miles of special stages from the Midlands to Wales and from Yorkshire to the Scottish Borders and Cumbria.
SUE BAKER and TONY MASON talk to a broad spectrum of rally folk from the top international drivers to the relatively humble club entrant.
WILLIAM WOOLLARD looks at the build-up to this year's event and examines why rallying has become one of the country's most popular motor sports.

Neil Jordan introduces
LUCHINO VISCONTI 'S masterpiece of sensuality Ossessione starring Clara Calamai Massimo Girotti
A young vagabond enters a roadside cafe, and for Giovanna it's love at first sight.
Her passion leads to adultery, betrayal and, finally, murder. Visconti's powerful version of JAMES M. CAIN 'S erotic novel The
Postman Always Rings Twice was heavily cut by the Fascist authorities. After the war, copyright problems inhibited distribution and this restored version has only recently become available.
