One of Woody Allen's strangest films, this studio-bound fantasy turned his Kafkaesque one-act play Death (1975) into a full-blown homage to German Expressionist filmmakers like Fritz Lang, F.W. Murnau and G.W. Pabst, brought to life by one of the starriest casts he ever assembled: Kathy Bates, John Cusack, Mia Farrow, Jodie Foster, Julie Kavner, Madonna, John Malkovich, Donald Pleasence and Lily Tomlin, plus Allen himself. He plays the cowardly Kleinman, reluctantly recruited by a vigilante mob in search of a serial killer. When he finds himself involved with a troupe of circus performers whose sword-swallower Irmy (Farrow) and clown Paul (Malkovich) want to leave to start a family, Kleinman thinks that this is a welcome distraction but the killer has other ideas... Described by the New York Times as a brazen, irrepressible original, Shadows and Fog is the most visually and narratively unpredictable of Allen's films. Carlo di Palma's dazzling cinematography makes full use of the title elements, but it's the richness of the multi-layered narrative, with its Shakespearean oscillation between burlesque comedy and poignant tragedy that really sticks in the mind.
Taking more than two years from conception to release Stevie Wonder's classic 1976 double-album 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is now generally accepted as his finest creative hour in an enduring 35-year recording career that has been filled with many other highlights. The remarkable story of Wonder's 'Songs In The Key Of Life' project is told here. Stevie himself reminisces about the inspiration behind the album - It was a challenge doing an album that was related to life - and there are also contributions from Berry Gordy the founder and father figure of Motown Records Quincy Jones Herbie Hancock and lyrcist Gary Byrd among many others. In addition there is unique reunion of musicians who played on the original album sessions. Certainly 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is a truly remarkable album. Its story is vividly related in this 'Classic Album' programme including as a celebratory re-creation twenty years on of 'I Wish' and 'Sir Duke' with the original musicians who played on the session.

The second of the Merchant/Ivory films (A Room with a View, Howard's End), Maurice deals with a theme few period pieces dare mention--a young man's struggle with his homosexuality. It's not just a gay coming-of-age story, however. The hero wrestles with British class society as much as his personal and sexual identity.The film opens on a stormy, windswept beach, as an older man awkwardly instructs young, fatherless Maurice Hall (James Wilby) in the "sacred mysteries" of sex. The same turbulent, wordless struggle with passion lasts throughout this slowly evolving, beautifully filmed story. Novelist E M Forster's brainy, British melodrama hinges on choice and compulsion, as the pensive hero falls for two completely different men. First comes frail, suppressed Clive (Hugh Grant), who wants nothing more than classical Platonic harmony ... and a straight lifestyle. (Grant's performance is so convincing, one wonders how he ever became a heterosexual sex symbol.) After Clive's wedding, Maurice turns to hypnosis to cure his unspeakable longings. Unfortunately, his "cure" is interrupted by Clive's lustful, brooding, barely literate gamekeeper Scudder (Rupert Graves), a worker more at home gutting rabbits than discussing the classics. Maurice's love for a "social inferior" forces him to confront his illicit desire and his ingrained class snobbery. --Grant Balfour
