The Business of Film: Movies returning, 365 Days, Radioactive & Olivia de Havilland
James Cameron-Wilson brings news of more cinemas reopening and more new films to show in them. He looks at the top 10 movies on Netflix and reviews the Netflix success 365 Days, a Polish erotic drama which, says James, should be given a wide berth. More interesting, he found, is the DVD release of Radioactive, with Rosamund Pike starring as Marie Curie. He also looks at the life and career of Olivia de Havilland, one of the last of the stars from Hollywood's golden era.
