An attractive quasi-waltz,

highlights, featuring solos by
Carter, Billy Cobham and the
very talented pianist Kenny

The infamous tyrant is por-
trayed by Keith Michell, who
won the British award for best
actor of the year for his per-
formance in the series. The
tempermental king leads the
viewer deeper and deeper into
the intricacies of his married
life as he disposes of one wife
after another. The stubborn first
wife of Henry VIII, Katharine
of Aragon, refused to relin-
quish her position as queen.
Nexa came Ann Boleyn, the vi-
brant young woman that does
not survive his whims. And so

ed, bringing history to life in
the magnificent British tradi-
tion only the BBC could man-
age. This series won five awards
from the British Society of
Film and Television Art and
received praise abroad.
THE LIBRARY is showing
the film in conjunction with a
project sponsored by the Na-
tional Endowment for the lu-
manities and called Film Plus.
The project is designed to en-

to the film series.
Each viewer will receive a
free Film Guide, which con-
tains a historical background

ing suggestions. After each ses-
sion, the viewer will be invited
to express his or her opinion
of the project in a short ques-
tionnaire.

to be desired. All the songs deal
with being in and out of love
to some degree; although while
they say nothing new, they
aren't offensively banal like so
many new rock songs these
days. The words don't detract
from the music, and that's the
important part of this album.
"GOIN' THRU the Motions"
deals with the perennial get-up-
and-go-to-work problem, and the
lyrics are quite interesting:
Take your time
and stand in line
Brother It's a waste
of time
Move until you're
standin' still
If this don't get you
that one will.
