THE MEMPHIS
BELLE: THE TRUE
STORY
2 x 52'
The United States 8th Force was an awesome fighting machine. In 1943 the US War Department commissioned the Hollywood film director William Wyler to go and make a film about what their immensely courageous air crews were doing in Europe. He chose the Memphis Belle as his subject. It was a standard typical B17 with a crew of 10 young American air crew who had flown 24 mission to complete their tour of duty and be transferred out of the hell that the bombing campaign in Europe had become. On that last raid they were assigned to a massive 1,000 bomber raid on Wilhelmshaven, on the Baltic. It was the raid that Wyler chose as the subject for his film. All the combat film was shot on that raid. The producer has recently located the original rushes shot by Wyler's crews, together with a great deal more remarkable and hitherto unseen footage of the American 8th air force in operation, on the ground and in the air over Europe , between 1943 and 1945. It is breathtaking stuff. An unforgettable record of the brutal reality of war.

Edward and Mrs Simpson: The greatest love story of our times....
A King's Story is perhaps the most poignant, intriguing and dramatic love story of modern times. Motion picture history was created when H.R.H. The Duke of Windsor personally revealed the conflicts, the passions and the tempestuous events that caused him to relinquish the Throne of England. In this absorbing film, the Duke and Duchess themselves tell of the fairy-tale romance which rocked an Empire and led to his historic Abdication in 1936. Edward XIII, born to the mightiest crown on earth, heir to a thousand years of sovereignty, counting his people by the hundred million, gave up all for the woman he loved.
