Stephanie Beacham on Marlon Brando, Catch Me Daddy, Hinterland, When Animals Attack

The latest cinema releases, DVDs and films on TV, including Stephanie Beacham on Marlon Brando, Catch Me Daddy, Hinterland and When Animals Attack. Presented by Antonia Quirke.

With Antonia Quirke.

Stephanie Beacham reveals why Marlon Brando wore y-fronts and wellington boots during their love scenes for The Nightcomers, a little-seen prequel to Henry James' Turn Of The Screw.

Catch Me Daddy director Daniel Wolfe discusses the reasons that he made a modern-day western set in Yorkshire about the controversial subject of honour killings.

Actor Harry MacQueen has made his directorial debut, Hinterland, with just £10,000 that he received from an inheritance. He explains how he did it. Industry insider Charles Gant considers whether micro-budget movies are the future for the British film industry.

White God is the latest movie to picture what happens when animals attack, whether it's dogs, birds, bees, sharks, piranhas or ten feet chicken. Andrew Collins imagines what would occur if they all launched an offensive on the same day.
