Logo for Front Row - Anjelica Huston and David Bailey

Anjelica Huston shares her childhood memories of her late father, the director John Huston. As a new restored print and DVD of his 1951 Humphrey Bogart/Katharine Hepburn classic The African Queen are released, Anjelica Huston recalls her father's determination to take his Hollywood stars into extremely remote and dangerous parts of the Belgian Congo. The photographer David Bailey discusses two forthcoming exhibitions: the first, Now, is a series of colour still-life arrangements of flowers and skulls. The second, Then, is more traditional Bailey, consisting of a series of enlarged photographic contact sheets taken in the '60s and never seen before, featuring the likes of Mick Jagger, the Kray Twins, David Hockney and Jean Shrimpton. Following a positive response at this year's Sundance festival, the American indie film Please Give opens here next week. Critic Ryan Gilbey gives his verdict on an ensemble drama centred on a wealthy New York couple, keen to acquire the apartment belonging to their grumpy elderly neighbour. Producer: Philippa Ritchie.
