This week, Jason Solomons meets one of Britain's greatest living film producers, Jeremy Thomas. Over four decades, Thomas has produced such films as David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch and Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor, for which he won a best picture Oscar in 1988. Jeremy talks about growing up in the business, as he watched his father and uncle direct Carry On and Doctor films at Ealing and Pinewood throughout the 1960s and 70s.
Jason also talks to Anglo-French actor Marina Hands about her performance in the French film An Ordinary Execution, set in Russia in 1952 under the reign of a sickly Stalin.
Peter Bradshaw pops in to review Denzel Washington in Unstoppable, Colin Farrell and Keira Knightley in London Boulevard, Robert Rodriguez's Machete and George Clooney in Anton Corbijn's The American.
