| 4. | SOME YOU WIN Teign Cine and Video Group (Devon) At noon, an old tramp (Ken Baylis) is pushing his belongings in his old pram when he picks up a coin, reading WIN on one side and LOSE on the other.

| 7. | THE LESSON St. Cuthbert Films (Newcastle-on-Tyne) Harry Joicey (Adam Bell), younger brother of the gentle Richard (Peter Coyne), is having problems coping with both the death of his mother a year earlier and the absence of his colonel father, who is away fighting in World War I. This makes him behave badly to nearly everyone. He intercepts and reads a letter addressed to Richard from their father and this leads him to contact Mr Hedley (David Peffer), an ex-soldier from his father's regiment ... A good story (by David Peffer) is complemented by fine performances, camera-work and editing. This is one of St. Cuthbert's most accomplished works, with their usual care for period detail. Guernsey Lily, Best Fiction 1996; IAC Gold Seal 1996 Donated by Kenneth Seeger. |
