★★★★☆ "What kind of adolescence will a ten year old boy look forward to when he has no arms, no legs and is only two feet tall? How can an eleven year old girl look forward to laughing and loving when she has no hand to be held and no legs to dance on?" This emotional rhetoric, delivered by MP Jack Ashley in 1972 during a long awaited debate on the ill effects of thalidomide, resonates with the same crushing injustice today as it did over forty years ago. Attacking the Devil: Harold Evans & the Last Nazi War Crime details the plight of its campaigning titular journalist to bring justice to victims of the poisonous prenatal drug whose roots lay in Nazi Germany. It is a documentary that will enthrall, enlighten, enrage and distress. Crafted with precision and consideration for its subject matter and filled with a dense web of information, it...

The Sunday Times editor’s tenacity in the face of government and industry bullying over thalidomide is well worth revisiting

It was Harold Evans’ finest hour. Maybe it was British journalism’s finest hour, too. Under this tough, smart and persistent editor, the Sunday Times ran its legendary campaign in the late 60s and early 70s to uncover the truth about thalidomide, the morning sickness drug given 10 years previously to pregnant women, causing their children to be born with malformed limbs. Evans also battled to get proper compensation for the victims’ families. He was up against an army of lawyers deployed by the Distillers group, which owned the drug, enforcing endless injunctions and pursuing bullyboy tactics with the plaintiff families. Evans also faced a smug and complacent political class.

A father-and-son editing team has compiled a new anthology in which 100 prominent male figures reveal the lines that make them cry

The cover of a new collection of poetry should probably carry a sticker bearing Shakespeare's warning: "If you have tears, prepare to shed them now."

Poems That Make Grown Men Cry is an anthology of some of the most emotive lines in literature chosen by 100 famous and admired men, ranging from Daniel Radcliffe to Nick Cave, John le Carré and Jonathan Franzen. Published next month and edited by the journalist and biographer Anthony Holden and his film-producer son, Ben, the book is winning praise for introducing male readers to unfamiliar works – and emotions.

Contributor Simon Schama has tweeted enthusing about his choice, Wh Auden's Lullaby, the poem that opens with the words "Lay your sleeping head, my love, Human on my faithless arm." Auden turns out to be the...

The career of veteran war photographer Don McCullin, and his ambiguous relationship with conflict zones, is thoroughly documented here

It is perhaps a flaw in Jacqui Morris's excellent documentary portrait of war photographer Don McCullin that it implies he effectively retired in the early 1980s, having been alienated by the Sunday Times's new owner Rupert Murdoch and incoming editor Andrew Neil. In fact, McCullin (now 77 years old) was taking pictures of the war in Aleppo this month, for the Times. The 60s to the 80s were the high-water mark of McCullin's career: he found brilliant and searing images in pre-wall Berlin, Cyprus, the Congo, Cambodia, Northern Ireland and Lebanon. His then editor, Harold Evans, is interviewed here extensively and says he is a "genius". It is hard to disagree. McCullin emerges as an unsentimental, plain-speaking, thoughtful man, disgusted at the inhumanity of war – and yet candid about how...

Good Times, Bad Times

Russell Crowe has quashed rumours that he's playing Rupert Murdoch in a biopic about the scandalized Aussie media mogul based on Harold Evans' memoir "Good Times, Bad Times".

"I haven't been approached by anyone to play Rupert Murdoch. That's just a beat up" Crowe tweeted. The rumour first surfaced in the British tabloids. [Source: E! Online]

Interns

JoAnna Garcia has joined the cast of Shawn Levy's new comedy "Interns". Garcia plays Vince Vaughn’s girlfriend in the film which shoots this Summer in Atlanta.

Devil's Knot

Rex Linn ("CSI: Miami") has joined the cast of Atom Egoyan's West Memphis Three-themed "Devil’s Knot".

Linn will play Chief Inspector Gary Gitchell was the lead investigator in the 1993 case of the Arkansas triple homicide.

Russell Crowe has been tapped to play Rupert Murdoch in a new film. The Gladiator star is rumored to be stepping into the shoes of the News Corporation founder in a new film based on former The Times editor Harold Evans's memoir Good Times, Bad Times, according to the Daily Star.

Meanwhile, Colin Firth is reportedly the lead contender for the role of Evans. The film will focus on the pair's relationship, specifically Evans's fight with Murdoch over editorial control, Variety reports. Leon Lecash will pen the script, and he believes that the film will begin shooting (more)...

After the News of the World phone hacking scandal broke, it was only a matter of time before the story was turned into a film. Fraught with crime, corruption and the dismantling of a century- old publication – all of which led to the public disgrace of media baron Rupert Murdoch – the events seemed more fiction than fact. Now movie goers will see it dramatized on the big screen, courtesy of the U.K. production company What’s It All About?.

According to the New York Observer, the company has acquired film and TV rights to Good Times, Bad Times, a memoir written by former Times of London editor Harold Evans. Published in 1984, it recounts his stint working under Murdoch, who took over the paper in 1981. Evans resigned shortly thereafter over what’s described as “lack of editorial independence.”

There’s no screenplay yet, but details suggest that it will cover...

What's It All About? Productions has acquired film and TV rights to Harold Evans' bestseller "Good Times, Bad Times" reports Variety.

Evans was the editor-in-chief of the British newspaper The Sunday Times from 1967 to 1981, championing crusading investigative reporting which lead to such famous stories as civil settlements for the British Thalidomide children scandal and the exposure of Kim Philby as a Soviet spy.

When Rupert Murdoch bought Times Newspapers Limited in 1981, Evans was appointed editor of The Times and within a year resigned over what he considered to be unacceptable pressure from Murdoch regarding editorial independence.

U.K. media commentator Steve Hewlett, who has followed the News of the World phone-hacking scandal, will serve as a consultant on the production.

Despite no script being ready as yet (a writer is currently being scouted), shooting aims to begin before the end of the year. Evans is currently editor-at-large for the news service Reuters.

From tabloid fodder to genuine privacy issue to movie, that’s how these things go. Variety is reporting that What’s It All About? Productions has optioned Harold Evans’s book “Good Times, Bad Times” which is a He Said account of a contentious relationship between Evans and media titan Rupert Murdoch while the former was the editor of the Sunday Times. There isn’t a script yet, but the phone tapping scandal was a massive news story that crossed over from 2011 to 2012, so it’s unsurprising that it will find its way in some form to the big screen. The catch here is that What’s It All About? isn’t exactly a major player. They’re a small shingle looking for a production partner, which means this project is miles away from being a done deal. The big question that will propel it forward: do people want to see the mud-slinging between two men who...

Evans's memoir Good Times, Bad Times about his time as editor of the Sunday Times and the Times is to be turned into a film

Rupert Murdoch's battle to establish himself as a newspaper tycoon at the heart of the British media and political establishment is set to become a film, according to a report in Variety.

The UK production outfit What's It All About?, whose best-known credit is the Channel 4 documentary The Man Who Killed Michael Jackson, has announced it has optioned Good Times, Bad Times, Harold Evans's memoir of his time as editor of the Sunday Times and the Times newspapers in the 1970s and early 1980s.

Evans's battles with Murdoch after the latter took over the Times newspapers are the stuff of media legend, and have been given new currency by the ongoing crisis at News International since the phone-hacking crisis.

News and portrait photographer with an eye for the unexpected and the authentic

Michael Ward, who has died after a long illness, aged 82, was a news photographer for almost 40 years and once calculated that his archive of prints and negatives covered 5,500 assignments, mainly though not exclusively for the Sunday Times. And yet he came late to his career and never felt confident that he completely understood it. Towards the end of his life, after half a century with a camera, he wrote that he knew "as much or as little about the processes of photography as a decent amateur". Technically, he knew he was far from accomplished. Aesthetically, he was never sure what separated a good picture from an indifferent one.

He had several exhibitions – the venues included the National theatre and the National Portrait Gallery – but he always remained suspicious about photography's claim as art. Nevertheless, many of his pictures are sympathetic and memorable.

A Guardian journalist, he returned to his native Ireland to make the masterly film Rocky Road to Dublin

Peter Lennon, who has died of cancer at the age of 81, was at the same time a Dubliner, an honorary Parisian and a Guardian man. The honesty and integrity of his writing during two lengthy periods on the newspaper were also reflected in his one excursion into film, Rocky Road to Dublin (1968), which was both an indictment of and an impassioned plea for his native Ireland, and quickly came to be recognised as a documentary masterpiece. "If one is a true patriot, you criticise your own country," he later wrote when reflecting on the uproar it caused.

His relationship with the Guardian was not always smooth. During budget cuts in 1969, the paper, which had been struggling financially, suddenly let his contract lapse after a decade of distinguished freelance service in Paris. He successfully sued,...

Richard Holbrooke's Brilliant DriveBy Harold Evans

The gifted diplomat dedicated his life to making the world a more just and peaceful place-typical of the dedicated diplomats now vilified by the anarchists at WikiLeaks,...

Richard Holbrooke was a larger-than-life figure on the U.S. political landscape who shaped his times. Jonathan Alter reflects on his impact on Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Foggy Bottom.

The tributes to Richard Holbrooke now pouring in are out of proportion to the various positions he held over the years as an assistant secretary and ambassador. They are more befitting a head of state than a "special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan," arguably the most grueling and thankless job in the whole government.

And yet Holbrooke belongs to a tiny group of diplomats-men like George Kennan and Chip Bohlen-who shaped their times as much as any secretary of state.

With the WikiLeaks revelations casting a harsh light on the work of diplomats, Holbrooke's career is a useful reminder that we depend on indefatigable men and women working killer hours with killer travel to keep us all from getting killed by war or terrorism.

Richard Holbrooke pushed harder and cared more than other American foreign-policy players. Peter Beinart on Holbrooke's special blend of superpower swagger and moral passion.

There will probably never be another American diplomat like Richard Holbrooke. The reason is partly personal. Most diplomats are careful, reserved, discreet... diplomatic. Holbrooke was the opposite. He didn't merely court reporters; he stalked them. And when they didn't write enough about him, he wrote about himself. He did not do subtle. When he bore down on people, he had about as much respect for personal space as Lyndon Johnson in a men's room. As Democratic doyenne Pamela Harriman once put it, "he's not entirely housebroken."

In all these ways, Holbrooke was part of the sociology of 20th-century American Jewry. He entered the Foreign Service in the 1960s, when it was still something of a Wasp club.

Debra Granik, Nanette Burstein and Sanaa Hamri discuss their ground-breaking work

Debra Granik

Granik is an award-winning, independent film-maker. Her second feature film, Winter's Bone, is on general release now.

The "Bechdel test", which appeared in Alison Bechdel's comic strip in 1985, goes like this: does the film have at least two women in it, who talk to each other, about something besides a man? As Debra Granik, protests, laughingly: "That's not asking so much!" but most films still fail it. Not Granik's latest – the extraordinary Winter's Bone. The story of 17-year-old Ree Dolly (played magnetically by Jennifer Lawrence) fighting to save her family's land in the Ozarks sees her negotiating with women who may or may not know what has happened to her disappeared father. The film's women are, as Granik puts it, "adjudicating a huge amount of the questions of life. There has never been enough screen time for...
