This story first appeared in the Sept. 14 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. In November 2009, four actors gathered at the striking Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Ennis House in Los Angeles to shoot a short film called Love and War. The script was adapted from Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, and in this unusual production, the legendary Egyptian queen was played by a blond woman in her 70s, opposite a decades-younger Antony. This Cleopatra -- who also adapted the script and served as executive producer and co-director -- was Jane Romney, older sister of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Jane

What is this show now, Torchwood: Miracle Day?
Warehouse 13, the fun and silly Syfy show about magical artifacts, took a dark turn this week, and ended with two shocking moments. One was straight out of soap opera, and the other much more serious, but both were handled well. And both are sure to cause repercussions in the last half of the season
The agents finally caught up with the nefarious Sally Stukowski, who is suspected in the deaths of several Warehouse Regents (the bosses of the Warehouse Agents). An artifact-enhanced questioning reveals the whereabouts of another possible assassination attempt, and while Artie and Myka head over to try to stop it, Sally is in store for more ... questioning.

Versatile producer and director who made Prime Suspect an enduring success
Paul Marcus, who has died of cancer aged 56, was best known for his award-winning work as producer of the television series Prime Suspect. However, most of his career was devoted to directing, for theatre and cinema, as well as for TV.
The first series of the police drama Prime Suspect, written by Lynda La Plante and following Dci Jane Tennison (played by Helen Mirren) as she led her first major murder investigation, was aired by Granada TV in 1991, to wide acclaim. Marcus was asked by Granada to take over as producer on the second series. He bravely invited an unknown director, John Strickland, to oversee the drama, but his choice proved justified, with Prime Suspect 2 matching the success of the first series and receiving an International Emmy award as well as Bafta recognition.

The Pros: Cavalcade won Best Picture and Best Director Oscars for the period 1932-33 (basically from Aug. '32-Dec. '33) and was reportedly the biggest box-office hit of 1933, grossing more than $3.5m (approx. $121m today*). That makes it a historical curiosity. Best Actress Oscar nominee Diana Wynyard has one remarkable moment, walking among armistice revelers but not feeling at all like celebrating after having lost a son to the Great War. Noel Coward, for his [...]...
