Episode overview
A selection from the films shown in Monitor over the past two years. In this edition: Rudolf Bing at the Met A portrait of an impresario filmed at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York. 'You could sense immediately the quality of the man who regards opera singers as spoilt children, who fired Maria Callas, who bends a world-famous institution to his sole will'. (News Chronicle) and The Death of Tolstoy An impression of Tolstoy's last days, compiled from Russian archive newsreel material filmed during his lifetime and at his funeral. 'It was an exciting experience to have this legendary genius, on the hearthrug'. (The Observer) Programme edited and introduced by Huw Wheldon.
