What do one 72 two 75's two 76's and one 79 have in common? They are the release years of the six movies we are reviewing today. Starting off today professor McGonagall and Chappy from iron eagle star in (Travels with my Aunt 1972.) This is directed by the mighty George Cukor, and I don't really know what to say about this except that it belongs on any classic 70's movie shelf. Let's just say that a dull branch manager finds out that his Aunt is super rad, and that of course Maggie Smith rules. Next up Glenda Jackson and Susannah York role play as a defense mechanism to deal with their oppressive employer in (Maids 1975) Whoa Sussannah was the lead in Images 1972 with Odo from DS9, probably should of mentioned that in the pod, oh well, we try. Moving on we have (The naked civil servant.) Here we have the wand maker Ollivander playing rad writer Quentin quisp. Quisp was OUT in the extremely dark times, film is great, see it now, and see us if you can't get a copy. Also the guy who objects about the size of the exhaust port in Star Wars is in this as well as Gimli the Dwarf. Next is (The mighty Bluebird 1976.) Here we have Cukor directing again, but it's rather weird, we try to figure it out but I don't know if we do. We ain't classic movie historians (bless them) but we do our best. This adaptation of a French fairy tale has Jane Fonda, Cicely Tyson, Elizabeth Taylor, and Bobby Brady's brother. It should be way better than it is. It is very trippy. Onto The (7 percent solution 1976) guess this one's a bit forgettable since I forgot I'd seen it. Some weird stuff here where Sherlock and frued team up to fight crime and do drugs. Robert Duvall, Alan Arkin and an under used Vanessa Redgrave are here in this. Tell us what you think? Finally today we review Sydney Pollack's (The electric horseman 1979) I remember being intrigued as kid by the electric part, in a hungry for sci fi, just post Star Wars world, but the electric part is more than a bit of a letdown. Adult me has a different take on this Redford and Fonda looking great in tight jeans gem. Want to know more, just press play. Thanks for listening. Tell your friends.

1) AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', by Murray Horwitz, Richard Maltby, Jr., et al., at Stages St. Louis (2) COSI FAN TUTTE, by W. A. Mozart & Lorenzo Da Ponte, at Opera Theatre of St. Louis (3) THE WIZARD, at Circus Flora (4) HIGH FIDELITY, by Tom Kitt, Amanda Green, & David Lindsay-Abaire, at New Line Theatre (5) 9 CIRCLES, by Bill Cain, at R-S Theatrics (6) TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT, by Graham Greene, adapted by Giles Havergal, at ACT Inc. (7) THE DAMASK CHEEK, by John Van Druten & Lloyd Morris, at ACT Inc.

The Third Man, Brighton Rock, Travels With My Aunt - the books of Graham Greene all still have a definite ring. But the the man himself was an enigma. He worked both as a spy as well as a foreign correspondent, and wrote endlessly about shady characters and secret affairs. This programme opens with him talking about his love of playing Russian Roulette - it turns out that Graham Greene was easily bored. Choosing Greene for Great Lives is Tim Butcher, 20 years a war reporter for the Daily Telegraph and more recently author of Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart, a title that suggests the influence of Greeneland. Tim says that it's his depiction of seedy life that appeals. The programme also features the voices of Beryl Bainbridge, Christopher Hampton and Auberon Waugh, along with a classic clip of Trevor Howard as Scobie in the Heart of the Matter from 1953. Matthew Parris is unimpressed with Greene's treatment of his wife, Vivienne, and questions whether the image Greene created was really true. David Pearce, founding trustee of the International Graham Greene Festival offers a robust defence. Future programmes in the series include editions on Shakespeare, Kirsty MacColl, and Antonio Carluccio on the sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi. The producer is Miles Warde.
