Marcel uses her as more than a servant: she is his muse, telling stories of her childhood to stir his remembrance of things past; she's in cahoots with him as he manipulates those he wants to draw on for his writing; she listens appalled to his descriptions of the underside of Paris.

- DirectorSteve CondieStarsSimon SchamaMark HydeJoe Van MoylandSimon argues The Slave ship, one of 7 of his works causing a scandal at the 1840 Royal Academy exhibition, is typical of Turner's feeling from experience, as low-born Covent garden boy affected by family tragedy, for the common man, even prominent in his epic works, deliberately unpolished for grim effect. Despite his membership of the Royal Academy his appearance remained deliberately rough, his later life darkened by disease, loss of close one and a pain-killer which enhanced his morbid imagination. The sea, with uncut fluent lines typical for him, hence his glorious Venice period, is a common element of drama and emotions. His rendering of the Temeraire reflects the mixed public mood as industrialization takes the lead. He sided with the anti-slavery movement gaining momentum to fight slave-trade by others after the British Empire abandoned it, referring to the case of the Sun sixty years earlier, when the captain of the Sun, off Jamaica, decided to swindle the ship's insurance -for losses at sea, nor death at arrival- by dumping 132 live cargo hand-picked. Turner dramatized maximally, even replaced the Caribean sharks by piranhas he knew from Jeroen Bosch's hell scenes and setting a red-gold stormy sky above water cut by a huge dark spot for the scene, supposedly a rising typhoon. The critics were merciless for his denial of artistic conventions, Simon considers it a triumph of expression, plastic expression and even matching a social rebellion in the name of liberty with his artistic one. His more idyllic works seem serial, almost soulless by comparison.ABOUT PAINTERS +++++++++++++++

- DirectorJohn G. AdolfiStarsGeorge ArlissDoris KenyonMargaret LindsayWriter and philosopher Voltaire, loyal to his king, Louis XV of France, nonetheless writes scathingly of the king's disdain for the rights and needs of his people. Louis admires Voltaire but is increasingly influenced against him by his minister, the Count de Sarnac. Louis's mistress, the courtesan Madame de Pompadour, is Voltaire's protector and advocate, but even she has difficulty preserving his welfare when Voltaire publicly excoriates the king for the wrongful execution of one of his subjects, Calas. Voltaire gives refuge to Calas's daughter and endeavors to show the king the error of his ways. But the Count de Sarnac, with an agenda of intrigue and disloyalty, determines to do away with the troublesome Voltaire.Voltaire (1694-1778)
