Splendid update of Double Indemnity with a drenchingly sweaty atmosphere (the sex has a lot to do with it) and a script that leaves teethmarks. Edinburgh: EUFS 0 Broadway Danny Rose (PG) (Woody Allen. US. 198-1) Woody Allen. Mia Farrow. Milton Berle. 8-1 mins. Danny Rose is one of life‘s losers; a small-time agent for no-hope artists who run from his management at the slightest whiff of acclaim.

A stranger arrives in Eve‘s bar and before long is embroiled in a shifting relationship with the proprietress and another woman. a radio agony aunt.

Edinburgh; AUFS o The Cheviot, The Stag, and the Black, Black Oil ('I'V) (John Mackenzie. UK. 1974) 90 mins. Celebrated BBC (London) version ofJohn McGrath‘s radical play that humorously and insightfully detonates a host of Scotch Myths. See John McGrath Feature.

A former journalist investigates the murder of her dentist and is intrigued by a list of extra-molar activities that included trading in pornography and providing a stud service for his affluent suburban clientele. Reputedly a mundane whodunnit from the once reliable Perry that offers little to distinguish it from its racey. airport-bestseller origins. Glasgow; GFI 0 Day for Night (PG) (Francois 'I'ruffault. France. 1973) Jacqueline Bisset. Jean-Pierre Leaud. 116 mins. Director 'I‘ruffault plays a director going through a particularly troubled shoot in this affectionate portrayal of the film-making process.

Berryman. Louise Portal. 101 mins. lfthe only ‘safe' sex left is the purely verbal then this non-stop talking shop must be the safest film ever made. Eight beings. four per sex. eat. drink. work-out and talk endlessly about their sexual hang-ups. fears and frustrations.
