	The Pact Sealed - Thomas Mann's 'Dr. Faustus' Here, in a 1982 film adaptation, Mann's protagonist Adrian Leverkuhn, an aspiring musical composer, is seen consummating his pact with dark forces in two ways: first, via sexual relations with an infected prostitute (where he contracts syphilis) and then with Satan himself on a snow covered mountain ... in the novel, the pact was signed in a freezing room in Rome -- here, coldness plays a more direct, central role -- in exchange for 24 years of compositional and worldly success, Leverkuhn accepts the pact's decree that he cannot love (hence his overall cold, aloof posture) ... a somewhat surreal sequence in a rather surreal part of Mann's last great novel which not only traced the rise and fall of Leverkuhn, but also the German nation under the Nazis... Leverkuhn's character is largely based upon the biography of Friedrich Nietzsche and to some extent Kierkegaard (who, in the novel, is mentioned by Satan as well understanding the dark pull of musical aesthetics) ... British actor Jon Finch played Leverkuhn... View Video
	COUNTERSTRIKE: KING'S GAMBIT (BBC 1969) Only the first four of the original ten episodes of COUNTERSTRIKE are known to exist, the others having been destroyed by the BBC. The sixth episode 'Out of Mind' was never transmitted. Simon King (Jon Finch) is actually an alien from the planet Cygnus sent by a 'sort of inter-galactic congress' to stop another alien race from taking over the Earth. In this task he is assisted by Mary who has discovered his secret. Despite a fair amount of talent behind the camera and a charismatic lead actor this never really comes to the boil. Being a black and white BBC production shot on tape it also lacks any gloss that might have helped carry it.

	Much Ado About Nothing (1984 TV) - Act I, scene 1 Shakespeare's play from start to Benedick's exit. Cherie Lunghi is such a fine Beatrice!. If only we could have the cast of this TV broadcast with the sumptuous production and costumes of the Kenneth Branagh film version... Lee Montague ... Leonato Tim Faulkner ... Messenger Cherie Lunghi ... Beatrice Katharine Levy ... Hero Jon Finch ... Don Pedro Robert Lindsay ... Benedick Robert Reynolds ... Claudio cut and pasted from various websites: Cherie Lunghi was born April 4, 1952 in London. She is the mother of Nathalie Lunghi (full name Nathalie Kathleen Lunghi-Joffé, born 26 August 1986). Her father (Alessandro Lunghi) was Italian, who abandoned the family, and her English mother and aunts raised the kids in west London. Leading ingénue at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the late 70s (Perdita, Cordelia, Viola), then left to portray Guinevere in Excalibur (1981) and pursue a film career. In 1995 she was placed 92nd in the "100 Sexiest Women in the World" by the publishers of FHM magazine. In addition to her varied film and television work, she is perhaps best known for appearing in a long-running advertising campaign on British television for Kenco coffee in the 1990s. Went to America in 1995, and came back in 1999. Presenter of Green Apple Environment Awards at the Café Royal, London 1 August 2000 Appeared at the King Arthur Exhibition Edinburgh, November 2001. Now married to Simon Woodroffe founder of the Yo! Sushi food chain ........ questions from the audience on BBC Radio: Question from Judy Barnett: Did you go to drama school, and if so, which one? Cherie Lunghi: Yes I did go to drama school. I went to the Central School of Speech and Drama for three years, but I did start earlier than that. I went to stage school, and worked as a child actress in radio and television. Question from Andy Smith: What made you want to act? Cherie Lunghi: I started wanting to be a ballet dancer. I studied very hard to be that until I was 11. Then I went to a stage school, which offered ballet and drama, and I sort of switched horses. I preferred acting. Question from Jay Tungsvik: Your credits include the film Excalibur. How do you feel, looking back on it, now, with its status as a cult film? Cherie Lunghi: Hello Jay. I'm very proud to have been involved in Excalibur. Apart from the fact that it's gathered the reputation of being a cult film, I also had a great time in Ireland filming it and it was my first movie role. Which means a lot. Thank you John Boorman. Question from Emma: Hi Cherie. Do you have any advice for young actresses trying to break into the business, like myself? Cherie Lunghi: Hello Emma. Well, I wish you a lot of luck. Luck has a lot to do with it. Equally, talent is important, as is determination. Question from Elin Owen: How did you first get into TV and drama? Cherie Lunghi: At a very early age. When I was 11 I went to a stage school, and attached to the school was a theatrical agent. From about the age of 13 I started auditioning for, and with luck getting, parts in television, radio and ballet. So I was working in the profession from a very young age. Question from Lee Robbins: Being naturally well spoken, were there any problems with the eastend accent? Cherie Lunghi: I don't think so! I think I have an ear for accents. I've had a fairly mixed background. I started in a council school, and then progressed into a grant-assisted secondary education, which would be considered more posh. Question from Shazz King: Do you get nervous when you're performing? Cherie Lunghi: Yes I do sometimes. My confidence levels vary, and having worked with many established actors, it seems to be a common factor. We're often insecure, and wonder how well we've performed. Question from Kathryn Gadsden: What is your best movie that you have starred in? Cherie Lunghi: Well I've done a handful of movies. I think the best part was Excalibur. Filming in Ireland with that cast and crew was probably the most memorable among my movie experiences. Although a runner up to that would be The Mission, in which I had the great honour of working with Robert De Niro, who happened to be an idol to me and working in Columbia in South America, with a tribe called the Guarini. They were interesting people who used the money they were paid by the movie company to provide their tribe with doctors, dentists and education. This was a very educated experience for me. View Video
	Macbeth - Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow The Tragedy of Macbeth (1971) Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. View Video

	Trailer The Final Programme Jerry Cornelius Trailer for THE FINAL PROGRAMME (The Last Man on Earth) from Robert Fuest. This bizarre Sci-fi movie was filmed in 1973 by Robert Fuest. The movie based on the first Jerry Cornelius novel (The Final Programme) by Michael Moorcock. THE FUTURE IS CANCELLED! As the world teeters on the brink of nuclear anarchy, swinging London scientific genius Jerry Cornelius (Jon Finch) discovers that the microfilm formula for a self-replicating human being is missing. With the help of the diabolic computer expert Miss Brunner (Jenny Runacre), the pair must race through a wasteland by murder and madness to recover "The Final Programme" and trigger the creation of a startling new messiah. Also known as THE LAST DAYS OF MAN ON EARTH, this bizarre blend of stylish action, dark satire and wild sci-fi features a score by Moog pioneers Beaver & Krause with Jerry Mulligan. P.S. The German title was Verrückt und gefährlich (Crazy and Dangerous). Most people prefer the book more than the movie, but i like both of them. Sure, the movie isn't very close to the novel but the bizarre 70's psychedelic design is outstanding. View Video
