PRIVATE ROAD - Re-Release now by the BFI on DVD and BlueRay.
'I saw this film in Notting Hill Gate, London when it first came out in 1971; I was 22 at the time and probably stoned. Its advertising slogan was "We saw the stars in Private Road' which somehow caught my attention. It was one of those films which seemed to speak to me personally and had a profound effect on my life, particularly in sending me to Scotland which set in place a whole fascinating sequence of transformational events in in my own personal life and spiritual development. I remember little of the story, although I always fancied Susan Penhaligon, but the filming of the Scottish scenes somehow stirred in me a longing for that clear wholesome fresh air and natural beauty which has been an inspiration for me all my life. If I could get hold of a copy I would love to see it again'. IMDB: Robin Scott (scott@ lifetech.org.uk)

Director’s long road back
Bronco Bullfrog's Mum
After the boys had thrown tomatoes at her, Princess Anne forgave them and came to see Bronco Bullfrog, at the Mile End ABC. Sam Shepherd who plays Bronco in the film remembers sitting beside her in the dark while Irene's mother was railing at her daughter's taste in boys. "She turned to me and said, 'My mum was like that.'" Sam chuckles at the memory. "It took me a minute to twig that she was talking about the Queen." So these clips are offered for Hellen Mirren's guidance in case she is called on again to play the role.
