Teacher BT Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin’s theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 “Scopes monkey trial” with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts.

From The Nine Lives Box Set
Gone, the voice that used to fill the room is all but gone An echo of a perfect love that ended wrong Girl, we tried so hard when love was on our side And yesterday will always be the reason why You keep comin’, you keep comin’ back, you keep comin’ back for more I’ll see you in my dreams There we’ll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory I’ll see you in my dreams, oh Time, time will never be a friend of mine again It tries to make your memory fade, but I won’t let it end Let the sun go down, so I can drift away Let me close my eyes and live another day You keep comin’, you keep comin’ back, you keep comin’ back for more I’ll see you in my dreams There we’ll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory I’ll see you in my dreams, oh (Instrumental break) The truth, oh it’s there for you to see Sometimes it’s painful to be on your own, on your own I’ll see you in my dreams There we’ll be safe tonight, from the lonely days of memory I’ll see you in my dreams Back in my arms again, and no matter what tomorrow brings I’ll see you in my dreams, oh, oh, oh

Angela McCluskey lyric music video. “In The Air” Available on – iTunes: bit.ly Amazon: amzn.to Extended mix available on Beatport: bit.ly The latest release from Grammy-nominated remixer and producer, Morgan Page is a mélange of dance music all-stars. A collaboration with Sultan + Ned Shepard, BT and featuring Angela McCluskey (Telepopmusik), the track titled “In the Air” is the first single from Page’s upcoming studio album, set to drop later this year. Page has said that “In The Air” is about capturing the excitement of being in the moment. Volleying from BT, Sultan and Shepard’s unique live instruments into gorgeous synth swells, the song is as expansive as it is enthralling. And as for Angela McCluskey’s vocals, they can only be described as hauntingly powerful. Fun fact about “In The Air”: McCluskey had a unique approach to penning the lyrics by clipping out magazine headlines.

Plot: In a touring Shakespearean theater group, a backstage hand – the dresser, is devoted to the brilliant but tyrannical head of the company. He struggles to support the deteriorating star as the company struggles to carry on during the London blitz. The pathos of his backstage efforts rival the pathos in the story of Lear and the Fool that is being presented on-stage, as the situation comes to a crisis.

Ken Rowland and Edwin Richards in Mr. Rowland’s farewell RVP production
With TheLife and Death of Colonel Blimp, the idiosyncratic partnership of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger hit its stride. Though they had already made four highly individual films together, Blimp was the first for their newly formed independent production company, The Archers—and also their first movie in colour. Not that monochrome could be said to cramp their imaginations—witness A Canterbury Tale or I Know Where I’m Going—but colour, and especially the heightened, unreal quality of 1940s Technicolor, gave full play to the richly stylised extravagance of their vision. If realism never counted for much in Powell-Pressburger’s films, the same went for intellectual consistency, and Blimp thrives on ambiguity to the point of blatant self-contradiction. The original Blimp, as created by the great political cartoonist David Low, stood for all that was most crassly reactionary in the British military establishment. The film’s Blimp, incarnated by Roger Livesey’s General Clive Wynne-Candy, is a lovable old walrus, maybe a touch set in his ways, but altogether a spirited survivor from a more honourable age. Livesey gives the performance of a lifetime, but wholly misses the mean, vicious side of Blimp which Olivier, Powell-Pressburger’s initial choice, might well have brought to the role. Given this central characterisation, it’s inevitable that the film’s ostensible message (most clearly enunciated by the “good German,” Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff) and its emotional drift …

The slow build up of tension as Clive Candy prepares to fight a dawn duel with Theo Kretschmar-Shuldorf in Berlin in 1903. One of the best scenes from this Powell and Pressburger movie, admired by the likes of Scorsese.
