THE TOMORROW SHOW WITH TOM SNYDER: JOHN, PAUL, TOM & RINGO John Lennon’s Last Televised Interview Finally Available on DVD from Shout! Factory, as well as Interviews with Ringo Starr, and Paul and Linda McCartney On April 25, 1975, John Lennon gave what was to be his last televised interview on “The Tomorrow Show With Tom Snyder.” No one knew then that Lennon would be taking an extended hiatus from public life, taking time to raise his son and live a less public life. Speaking openly on the subjects of drug use, the breakup of the Beatles, and his immigration problems while seeking permanent residency in the U.S., the interview Lennon gave Tom Snyder in 1975 revealed he had tremendous humility and an affecting sense of humor.

Ridley Scott seems, on the surface, an enigma; is he an artist making highly commercial films, or a top-of-the-line commercial director delivering product which often approximates art? A director of advertisements in the U.K. in the 1970s, Scott began feature directing with "The Duelists", followed that with "Alien", and has since had a string including "Blade Runner", "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Black Rain", "Thelma And Louise", "1492" and "Gladiator". It is interesting to contrast Ridley Scott with his director brother Tony ("The Hunger", "Top Gun", "True Romance") - there is a commonality in styles, yet Ridley's work delves considerably deeper beneath the veneer than Tony's. What do Ridley Scott films all have in common? A sleek look, sharp editing, barreling plots and uniformly fine performances each stand out. All popular entertainments, they are all, in their own way, genre-busters. "The Duelists" took the traditional costume revenge piece and enlivened it; "Alien" crossed space with the old dark house mysteries and formed it's own offspring; "Blade Runner" told the '50s paranoia story with a '40s noir touch and a new millennium mentality; and "Gladiator" made the Roman spectacle merely a backdrop for the reinvented historical revenge piece. And lo! What HAVE we here in "Hannibal"? The historical revenge piece updated into modern Gothic opera (no mean feat!).
