John Fitzgerald reviews: "Serenade" starring Mario Lanza and Joan Fontaine. "The Ambassador's Daughter" starring Olivia De Havilland, John Forsythe and Myrna Loy. "The Unguarded Moment" starring Esther Williams and George Nailer. Fitzgerald comments 'its greatest merit is Esther Williams, a bit over dressed for Esther I'm afraid she never once exhibits her remarkable ability to wear swimsuits but she makes up for it with a well considered acting performance'.

Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
