George Sand was perhaps the most celebrated novelist of the early nineteenth century and its most notorious Bohemian, better known in her own day than even Charles Dickens. Frederic Chopin was among the greatest musicians of his age. A prodigy who rapidly gained a legendary reputation all over Europe as both a pianist and a composer. IMPROMPTU is the comic and tender tale of how Goerge Sand and Chopin met; of how Sand recklessly pursued Chopin; how Chopin resisted Sand's advances; of how, despite the best and most mischievous efforts of many of those around them, they eventually fell in love.

A relentless Soviet spy (Pierce Brosnan) smuggles parts for a nuclear bomb into England. His goal: detonate a device next to an American airbase, blame the Yanks and watch U.S.-British relations go up in a mushroom cloud. Only one man guesses what's going on: a canny British agent (Michael Caine) on the outs with his bosses. Two stars identified with screen spies who made the Cold War cool - Caine as the hero of the Harry Palmer series and Brosnan as 007 in four James Bond films - team for a riveting, unsettling East-West thriller based on a besteller by Frederick Forsyth (The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File). In an era when nuclear terrorism is an all-too-real threat, The Fourth Protocol makes for compulsive viewing.
