A Kiss before Dying
This is a fine adaptation of Rosemary's Baby author Ira Levin's dark tale about a social climber who kills his wealthy girlfriend when her pregnancy threatens her inheritance. It stars a cast-against-type Robert Wagner, cleverly made-up as a villain and relishing the kind of role he seldom played again. This film noir is actually shot in bright daylight colours by cinematographer Lucien Ballard, who makes excellent use of locations. A young Joanne Woodward plays the victim and a superb Mary Astor is the wretched Wagner's mother. Interestingly, in the novel the murderer's identity is hidden; in the movie, you know who did it and watch as he's tracked down. Avoid the inferior 1991 remake with Matt Dillon.

Rick Stein's Memoirs of a Seafood Chef
I suppose Rick Stein is allowed a little self-indulgence after his successful fish restaurant and TV career. But not this much, surely - 90 whole minutes devoted to his brilliance, his friends and his now-deceased dog. We hear about Stein's 1970s disco in his beloved Padstow in Cornwall, later closed because the police objected to the number of fights on the premises, to his chef training and his current domination of all things fishy. There's some pleasantly escapist stuff, notably lush clips from his TV series down the years - rolling waves, gorgeous Cornish beaches, al fresco cooking - and it's all very easy on the eye and ear. The only sour, potentially interesting, note comes when Stein is confronted with the "Padstein" nickname routinely applied to Padstow, seat of his empire. It rankles: "I've just got a few modest businesses; I don't own the whole town," he insists. The show ends with Stein cooking dinner for friends and staff, and, finally, a saccharine tribute sung to Chalky, his departed doggy companion. RT reviewer - Alison Graham
