The screen magazine was a biweekly news and information film that was shown before the featured film in all military motion picture theaters during World War II. Most of the shows consisted of five minute segments featuring human interest stories about the home front updates from the defense industry news about major combat events of the war and sometimes a variety show featuring some of the top entertainers of the day. The most popular feature of the screen magazine was the Private Snafu segments written by Theodore ""Dr. Seuss"" Geisel and animated by Warner Brothers. Snafu was lazy stubborn unpatriotic and insisted on doing everything wrong. In the end Snafu learned the hard way but not before supplying his audience with five minute of laughter and a painlessly administered object lesson. The depictions of Japanese and Germans are quite racist by today's standards but were par-for-the-course in wartime United States. By the end of the war the Army-Navy Screen Magazine reached a weekly audience of over 4 million men and women. Although the magazine was an instrument of official policy its honest no-nonsense approach won the respect and affection of G.I. audiences everywhere.

It's tough trying to beat the 1934 version of the popular adventure-romance story, starring Leslie Howard as the 18th-century British hero who poses as a fop in London society but runs a secret mission to rescue the doomed in Robespierre's Paris. But this 1982 television version, starring Anthony Andrews (Sebastian Flyte in Brideshead Revisited) as the Pimpernel and Jane Seymour as his beloved but estranged wife, is quite a treat. Andrews and Seymour expertly capture the essence of a relationship suffering from misunderstandings and elusive passion, and there is plenty of crackle to the action sequences. Clive Donner (What's New, Pussycat?) brings some strong cinematic qualities to this television presentation. --Tom Keogh

One of Guru Dutt's last films Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi was under production when he died in 1964 and his brother Atma Ram completed the film casting Dharmendra in Guru Dutt's place. Guru Dutt had initially asked S.D. Burman to compose the music for the film subsequently replacing him with O.P. Nayyar. (Interestingly the Kishore Kumar solo Yeh Dil No Hota Bechara from Jewel Thief was rejected as the theme song for his film!).
